NYC (Fall 2010): Day 1, Halal Guys (53rd and 6th)

on
Thursday, October 21, 2010

My brother took us to the Halal Guys on 53rd and 6th for a late lunch. He was like, "You guys have to try this, it's my favourite thing for lunch and probably the most popular place around here for cheap food." And I was like, "What is the big deal about this food cart that causes mile-long line-ups?" So we shared a platter ($6), which includes chicken, gyro meat, rice, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, pita bread, white sauce, and hot sauce. You sort of mix it all together so it looks like a big pile of random crap. And regardless of what's in it, it's still called "chicken and rice."

I was skeptical at first, but I soon understood why people wait up to 2 hours for this stuff, because it is like crack. Seriously, what do they put in there? Why don't they have this in Toronto? They could dominate the world of street vendor food! I mean, they sell their own sweatshirts! People have started fights over that food that resulted in death! They have their own Wikipedia page!
