DD, the food is excellent at times, other times its just pretty good.
Call it what you like but it was a bad experience for me today,
and i’m a regular customer of his and i’ve always told people
to go to him!

What happens the day he puts peanuts or fish in your platter and
you’re alergic? you think he’ll give you your money back or may
you a special order?You can forget it! The guy makes some delicious food, but he’s a horrible business man and a pretty crappy individual as well.

Oh man! That’s horrible. But you know – I disagree. I think the food is stellar and all you’re describing is just part of the experience. It’s why he’s famous! It’s his segmentation.

I waited nearly 30m for him to set up his cart
Only for him to REFUSE to sell me 2 platters,
Because he claimed he must serve everyone in line
one platter before I can get a second?! I’ve seen him sell multiple
Platters plenty of times…

I’ve been going to his cart for 5 years,
And he knows me. He treats people
Like garbage and gets away with it
Because his food tastes good? No more.

Don’t put up with this guy’s horrible attitude for a plate of
Overcooked chicken and burnt falafel that has way too much
Garlic.

You don’t know what he puts in his dishes and he wont tell
You. You don’t have to take abuse to eat good food,
Go elsewhere

Christos’ is absolutely BRILLIANT food. A good friend introduced me to his cart a few weeks ago and the whole experience — the fabulous charcoal-fired cart, Gus, and the food itself — definitely made my entire day. A must for those in and around Philadelphia. So glad to see Gus featured here! Great job, Dan and company!

SO DELICIOUS. There was a side of granny smith apples and jicama today… it was salivating. Thanks for all the street food tips; I never would have known this cart existed!!! I’m going to try the Jamaican one next week! Do more philly episodes! please.

I have this guy’s food almost weekly and it’s a real bummer when he’s not there. Luckily it doesn’t happen very often. I like the fact that while I don’t have a choice as to what is available, I have never been disappointed by what I got. Very few chefs can say that.

It costs more than most lunch trucks but it is well worth it. In the middle of the winter there will be a line. The food is that good. There have been times when I was eating in a foodier-than-thou restaurant and wish I was eating his food instead.

And you get a bit of a show – “gus” is quite a character.

Somehow I missed the past 4 episodes. Good work! This is one of my favorites for sure. Gus is an awesome character for tv and seems full of life. His food looks delicious too.
