The Deceptively-Labeled Frito-Lay Truck

Like I mentioned when I wrote about the chicken and rice carts at 53rd and 6th a few weeks ago, I have a preferred street-meat truck near my office that I'll visit typically once a week, though occasionally more. It's the one parked on Cedar Street just east of Broadway, right next to the HSBC. Normally, I can actually see it out my office window, but naturally the day that I'm writing about it is the day that it isn't there. In lieu of that, here's a previous photo out my office window, with the truck in the top left:



And, in fact, it's also visible in Google Street View:

Anyway... why was I writing about this? Ah, right, because it's almost lunchtime, and I'm hungry, and I was thinking about going there today. And then I remembered that a couple of weeks ago I had snapped this dynamite photo (with my camera, even!) of food I'd bought there for the purpose of sharing it, and I wanted to pass it along:



How delicious does that look? Lamb and rice, white sauce, hot sauce, lettuce and tomato, grilled carrot and onion and pepper and eggplant, usually a couple of spicy banana peppers. $5! With a 20-ounce Snapple and a grilled pita on the side for scooping, $7! I think I decided what I want for lunch...
