What?... Yes. No. Maybe. I'm sorry, I just want so badly to smack you.

From a time when American diners wanted a hint of the exotic... but really just a hint, please.

Place has a giant arrow pointing to it. Like a direct order from freakin' God. What are you gonna do, not eat there? I don't think so.

Oh, South Philly Experience truck... You had me at "Whiz."

Dashboard dining from the South Philly Experience truck, parked today at Olympic & Butler in West LA. The roll is Amoroso's, the beef is thinly-sliced ribeye, and the cheese is -- well, there's only one right cheese for a cheesesteak.

Melty Cheez Whiz explosion. The focus is a little soft because my hands were shaking. From happiness.

Right around here is where it occurred to me that I was a middle-aged man sitting alone in his car photographing his food. Then I finished the sandwich, licked the cheese from the paper and drove home.

The world's most specific piece of labor-related sabotage.

Dear Sparkletts: If our fair and just contract demands are not met, we will leave ONE BOTTLE OF 1 LITER WATER UNCAPPED until you agree. What? No, not one bottle per case. Just one bottle, somewhere in the world, or at least that part of it that is served by Sparkletts home delivery. And you WON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS.

We await your timely return to the bargaining table. 

 
Sincerely,
Amalgamated Cappers Local 22
