re: Meat Street Breakdown!!

Hi Keef,
Loved your strip about the LA taco trucks.

Perhaps you know of the Taco Bandini, whose mission is to review every taco truck in LA?

Crazy! But tasty…

Cheers,

Hi Keith!

I love your comic, I read it regularly at salon.com. Actually, my dad’s name
is Keith, my middle name is Keith, and I’m married to a German woman (well,
Czech/German), so I can always relate! ; )

I had to write after today’s comic about “street meat,” hahahaha. I love it
too, I’ve had blood sausages in Korea, meatballs in Hong Kong, various
kebabs in Germany, Denmark, and Cyprus, sausages and hot dogs in NY and
Chicago, etc., etc. But I found the best hot dogs in the world here in
Copenhagen–YES, bacon wrapped, and they come with ketchup, 2 kinds of
mustard, mayo sauce, fried onions, chopped onions, and thin-sliced pickles
on the top! Of course, the city is FILLED with these pølser carts and they
are open late for post-drinking dining.

So I want to encourage you to give in and try a bacon wrapped hot dog, if
not in Copenhagen then at least in LA. They are really, really tasty. You DO
want to go there!

Cheers,
J.

Keith,

This didn’t qualify as street food, but easily the most bizarre vendor food I had was one
morning at a bluegrass festival — someone had set up a cart where they were selling

a) breakfast sausage on a stick
b) that had been dipped in blueberry pancake batter
c) and then deep-fried in some sort of maple-syrup oil

I called it “the breakfast log” for lack of a better moniker. I won’t admit to how many
of them I had. :o

Congrats on the upcoming l’il gravy!

Keef,

Here in Arizona, we have street vendors that sell
Sonoran-style hot dogs.

Wrap the dog in bacon before cooking, then add
mayonnaise, tomato, onion, pinto beans, guacamole,
tomatillo salsa, jalapeños, mushrooms, and cheddar and
Cotija cheeses.

It’s a delicious nightmare.

Love your comic! It’s the bright spot to my Wednesday
workday.

Hey Keef,

I used to work at Planet Records in Kenmore Square back in the 80’s/90’s. Every year we waited for the Red Sox opening day because Pizza Pad would set up a sausage cart on the sidewalk. There always seemed to be a cart outside The Channel after a show got out. Good stuff.
