Has Street Meat Student (Carnegie John) Surpassed Teacher (Tony Dragonas)?
Believe or not I had actually never eaten at the super famous Tony “The Dragon” Dragonas cart on Madison & 62nd until last week. I am very familiar with his disciple, Carnegie John (on 56th and 7th), but have never made it up to see the man himself. I know it’s just a few blocks out of bounds, but there’s something about the UES that repels me- and if I do find myself up anywhere near that area, I usually eat at the original El Rey del Sabor Cart (on 60th and 3rd).
Anyway, a doctor’s appt. brought me right past the Dragon’s popular cart last week during lunch, and again those words popped into my head (like they have so many times before when faced with something delicious)… “how could I not?”
