“These people and their carts are filthy, many are illegal aliens with diseases. They spray Raid on the food to keep flys away. I’ve seen them washing dishes in their backyards with a garden hose. They pay extortion money to the gangs and refuse to cooperate with the police. I’ve been sick so many times I rarely eat at McDonalds, Carles Jr. or Del Taco unless I travel outside of Los Angeles, Mexico.

They sell to children and the kid’s parents are too stupid to give a damn. Most of them are unlicensed. They push their home made carts to the elementary schools. I know of two people that got Hepatitis, both of them nearly died. They don’t pay taxes. They set up shop in front of restaurants and take their customers away.

This is all over Los Angeles and the authorities don’t give a damn.”


You tend to exaggerate a lot, that is no way to build credibility.

You can’t trust those little skinny runners when it comes to food.

I got off the main drag in Tijuana—smelled something good: a vendor was frying strips of something on a garbage can lid.
And there was something that looked like the carcass of a retriever-sized pooch hanging in the window. Maybe it was a goat.

I've accused him ever since of being "in on it"

Actually, we were all in on it. It was a vast, right-wing conspiracy.

This is a classic case of overwriting, the author had our sympathy up to the 2/3rds mark of Part 1; lost support for disclosing that his sympathetic character acted as much out of disdain as outrage by the bragging comments at the end about Americanos being in the 1% minority.

Had he ended the piece with the last line in Part 2, he would have had this reader on essay judging, but no, he had to drag it on for another whole page and allow the writing to spoil like an old, smelly bacon-wrapped hot dog cast aside in the dusty sunset twilight of what once was L.A.’s showcase streets.

Same happened to my wife, youngest son and myself at Wendy's in 1978, haven't stepped foot in one since. A night in the hospital with I.V.s for the three of us was enough to last a life time.

*****************

How awful!

My husband contracted campylobacter at a family reunion from undercooked chicken wings. He offered some to me, but I declined. He was sick for weeks before he was put on antibiotics.

Read his over the top post again and then look at his posting history and you will see that he really piles it on.

The article is really poorly written. It seems the problem is with grilling hot dogs on a sidewalk. Boiling and steaming are ok. Yet, when talking to the authorities, we get no explanation for the ban on grilling. Instead, we get a rant about cockroaches in the carts and meat sitting in the sun.

Worth a repeat.

Without it being clearly stated, we have to infer that grilling is the problem.

Then, we get no clear justification as to exactly why it's a problem.

Global warming...???

I for one am in complete support of my State (not federal) government doing its job. The title and excerpt are misleading. They are NOT illegale because of their calories or fat etc. This is simply a rule saying that outdoor carts can heat or steam but they cannot grill.

If there is no reason for that restriction then those affected can deal with the system and process to change the rules.

Thank god we live in a country where you can change the laws if you disagree with them and have enough people agreeing with you.

I think publishing the results of health inspections are what keep restaurants (relatively) clean. Kind of like a reverse Zagat survey...

Cut raw boneless chicken into bite size chunks.
(I cut HEB chicken fajita thighs into 5 or 6 pieces.)
Wrap with slice of bacon and secure with toothpick.
Deep fry at 400 until they float about 7 minutes.
(Remove toothpick.) Just add beer...

I've lost 10 pounds on this diet.
