    The joyous look on your face as you looked into the burrito cart was priceless. I'm so hungry right now. When's the next train to Queens?!
  • Buen post, las ideas son muy relevantes. http://FundacionAsis.Org
  • You lucky SOB.....yeah just rub it in our face. Thanks Dan! "Who would ever go to Taco Bell?....." :-P

    That churro looked absolutely phenomenal.

    I love the show!!! I want more of it :)
  • I grew up and Queens and yes you are only scratching the surface my friend. Only Mexican?? What about the other amazing cultures on Roosevelt Ave?
    Colombian food, Halal, Indian, wish you could have been a bit more diverse here but love the concept.

    maybe I can finish the journey on one of my posts.

  • I enjoyed the Cart Crawl Episode! :) Made me hungry for all those great foods!

    In Houston (Texas), the food carts are equivalent to our taco trucks because we are so spaced apart. (We really have to drive to get anywhere and our public transportation sucks). And if not for the taco trucks, we just stop by the many Mexican restaurants here in town! :)

    Keep up the great show!
  • Way to go after it! I'm loving this show. I'm also craving some NY street cuisine. You'll have to come see the Tamale ladey in San Francisco at some point.
  • Hey Dan,

    Way to hog all the food! Joe looks starved, like he is eagerly awaiting the scraps left over from your feeding frenzy!

    But seriously, keep up the good work, love the show so far!

  • All that food looked amazing. Now I have a longing for delicious tacos, but I won't be able to sate it for awhile. Curses!

    Looking at the churros, the wife and I venture looking for it. 3 times we went and came up empty ... where is this fresh churro cart???
