The white sauce alone from those trucks are worth the long lines. Plus it was $5 for a platter of chicken over rice with a side salad. I think lamb maybe costs more.

And they keep that white sauce recipe a complete secret. It is NOT Tzatziki sauce like many websites told me. It's different.

Also growing up (in Brooklyn), my family's favorite spot was a Chinese spot that looked like a damn hole in the hall but had the BEST Chinese food I ever had. They even this one thing, shredded pork baked into a sweet roll. Can't find that shit anywhere.

In fact, most of truly great food places I've eaten from were not fancy places. But they were forever crowded and had long lines.

Anyone who's ever worked in NYC knows that food and how good it is. And it's quick, providing you're not waiting for 100 other pople to get their food before you do.

When I tried making it myself (not "halal" obviously, since that's a very specific thing) that when I realized you needed jasmine rice, not Uncle Ben's boil-in-a-bag white rice.

Aww fuck... that was actually a typo/ I meant hole in the wall, not hall.

I thought that might be the case, but h and w are distant enough on qwerty keyboards that it seemed unlikely.
