In France we are not surprised to see customers standing in line to buy fresh baguettes. But in NY it struck us as odd when we saw a never ending line of patient (how surprising!) New Yorkers waiting to pick up a meal of chicken and rice.
Amazed we watched the Halal Guys preparing and selling the 'platter' in a frantic but controlled way.
Now, back in Boston we learned that there are two groups of people: those who have eaten 'the platter' and those who have not. Regretful we have to admit to belong to the latter……..
When we saw the hot dog vendor pushing his cart to a better location it should have been a hint.
The New York hot dog topped with mustard and sauerkraut is so yesterday.
