3) The vendor truthfully tells you that lamb over rice isn't exactly healthy, and suggests that a salad every once and a while would probably be in your best interest.
-
4) they charge you $5 instead of the $6 they charge everyone else.
-
5) They know the specifics of your picky order without you having to ask. "The mixed grill, over the salad not the rice, lots of onions, no tomatoes, extra white sauce, please"
-
6) Your favorite website is midtownlunch
-
Chris - "3)" has happened to you?
-
7) If she doesn't have your favorite, she'll make a sad face and shake her head before you even ask for it.
-
@ tom that's the same response Fred's wife gives him everynight.
-
@adamprato - Happened to a friend of mine. He ate at the 53rd and 6th cart for lunch so often, to the point that the vendor became genuinely concerned for his health.
-
The guy who operates the Daisy May BBQ cart shakes his head in disappointment when you pass by with a bag of food from the giant sombrero cart.
-
9) When you're about 3 or more people deep on the line and by the time you get up front to order, your chicken and rice platter with extra hot sauce, is bagged and ready to go and he's collecting the money from you.
-
10) You turn down a chance to try new foods at one of the rare street fairs that come downtown, (they even had SWEET ROASTED CORN!!!!!!!! On a cob! Still ticked I didn't get one...) since you don't want to let your regular Halal cart guy down ... yes, a friend of mine did this! Looking at you, Columbia Terror :)
-
11) They always bless you with Extra White-Extra Hot sauce with out even asking.
-
12) They don't have change for a $20 so they give you your food for free and pipe "Ahh you'll be back"
-
13) You're fatter than a regulation cart. Heck, the kiddies mistaken you as a bouncy castle?
I'm no castle. I eat street meat once a week. No need to be HUGE.
-
@tokyoacid
That happens to me at Biryani Cart every freaking week.
-
You check into a New Yawk City hospital with symptoms including projectile vomiting, bloody diarrhea, hair loss, double vision, and complete loss of appetite.
-
What is a "StreetMeasOnsumer3008"? I either am missing the reference completely, or there are enough misspellings in that one moniker to kill a cat.
-
15) You can't eat anything without a white sauce and/ or hot sauce anymore.
16) Everything you eat tastes like a chicken/ lamb combo.
-
17) They know to add French Fries and random shit to your falafel on instinct.
-
When they throw your dog scraps as you walk by randomly at 11 pm at night...because they know how much she begs...
-
19) You only eat rice from an aluminum or styrofoam container. Uncle Ben is very disappointed in you. Carolina doesn't wnat you anymore.
-
Are you really the bizarro world version of StreetMeatConsumer2009?
-
20) When you can't even register your own ML username correctly?
-
21) When you're debating and contemplating a $10-$15 burger/sandwich equating to 2-3 orders of street meats.
Apply Wendy's 3conomics or KFC's $5 Fill-Up Box if it works for you instead.
-
22) When you leave Whole Foods or Food Emporium totally PO'd because you just spent over an hour walking up and down the aisles looking for a jar of "white sauce."
-
23) You won't "seriously" date someone unless she can enjoy street meats with you.
No first date jitters when you have a delicious Halal platter in front of you.
-
You have 5 solid back up carts if your first choice has too many people on line.
-
When someone asks you a good cart to go to, you ask them specifics to guide them to the right guy.
-
26) The true origins of their meat source and sauce no longer bother you.
As long as that pigeon with white sauce is well-seasoned, no mysteries need solving.
-
He starts making your order when you are 5 people back in line. Even though you order vegetarian. And gives you extra eggplant.
-
28) You have to schedule your weekly Street Meats appointment.
If only going to the doctor/ dentist was this much fun...
1) NYC Cravings asks where you work, because they see you on mondays AND fridays...
2) Jamaican Dutchy asks how many curry chicken mini-meals we want as we approach the window.
