New Yorkers call them “dirty water” hot dogs and I don’t eat them either. In fact, I don’t buy anything off a cart in NYC. There are many decent food trucks and you can check out the reviews online. On principle, I don’t go to any Halal food trucks.
So you are saying there are non-Halal food carts/trucks in NYC? All I saw three weeks ago in Manhattan were Halal street vendors.
