Ever watched any of those cooking competition shows (Top Chef, Next Iron Chef, Iron Chef, etc). Those are professional chefs, some of which look like they've run a marathon midway through.
-
And who's to say that doesn't happen in just about every restaraunt, diner, fast food joint. At least with the truck you have a pretty good idea whats going on. Unlike behind the closed doors of a restaraunt.

I prefer when my sweat drips right into the food---saves on salt costs!
-
So, how long of a wait is the food actually worth, for those who have had it? Out of curiosity.
-
burger is def worth 30+ min wait.

Nothing bad survives the fry-o-lator!
-
what about the cart guys that wear gloves and handle money then your food without changing gloves? money is dirty.
-
Be glad you can actually see them cooking, cause ya know in a restaurant they're picking their butts and stuff cause you can't see them.

YAWZAH!
'Sweat' in your food may be the least of your worries when eating from a food cart -- or for that matter, at ANY restaurant.
But hell, it beats cooking your own food at home, RIGHT? I mean, we professional 'Yuppies' are WAY too busy and important to cook our own dinner, or brown-bag' our own lunch.
So what's a little body excrement, rodent droppings, contagious diseases (such as HepC from your tattooed 'Chefs'), or a bit of '5-second rule' schnitzel from the floor?
NO PROBLEM! Eat and enjoy!
Bon Appetite ----- Right?

@docChuck Do you know of any confirmed cases where a customer got HepC from eating restaurant food?
-
i remember a couple of cases maybe 7 or 8 years ago when a deli somewhere in NY (long island? i want to say...) was dishing out some hepc with the boar's head.

eggs. we live on a diet of eggs. except we don't eat them.....
in the kitchen's i've worked, we always wipe with our upper sleeves andy roddick style. sweat was inevitable and the kitchen truly was no place for fatties. people were forced to don sweatbands or bandanas when it got bad.

Please don't feed the troll. Unless you want to force a dirty water dog down its McNugget hole.. that would be entertaining. But seriously, every single thread gets hijacked by this jerk. I know it's hard to ignore him, but it would be for the good of all mankind.

there was a national geographic cover once about this huge forest fire that ripped through ... some place in the midwest ... a couple of decades ago. and the succeeding article was about controlled burning as a preventative measure. it started a whole controversy about greenhouse gases, pollution, and whether or not it was really effective to remove the kindling because it could just be leaving room for other twigs to dry up.

@ deanlo I think your allegory was lost in the shuffle, unfortunate as it was so apt
One thing I noticed after ordering and receiving my food yesterday was that one of the cooks was wiping his sweat off with paper towel with his gloves on and then proceeded to go back to preparing food again without changing gloves! That was the one thing I found bad about the truck, I did enjoy the food though, hope it was sans sweat.
