Over the years I have written countless articles on plethora of different subjects. In particular,Bad Food at a Providence Restaurant   Articles I have often written about foods I did not like or my least favorite Providence Restaurant. As a result of my endless negative ramblings about bad restaurants, crappy food and places that are not worth going, many of my fans have begun to speak out. Just the other day a fan wrote to me and said “Hello. Why are you so negative all of the time? For once, I would like to hear an article that is not about something that was god-awful.  And, I will boycott your work if you do not turn that frown upside down.”

 

Reading this fans letter really woke me up about the affect I was having on others. First of all, the last thing I want to do is put anyone else in a bad mood. I never understood that my words were so important to so many people. Also, if my numerous fans start boycotting my work than I will have no ability to provide for my family and nobody wants that. Because I always listen to my fans, I have decided to write about things that I enjoy or that I think are really swell. I must admit that the prospect of writing positive articles was daunting. I sat in front of my old-fashioned typewriter and stared blankly into space as writers block firmly settled into my mind. In an attempt to acquire some inspiration, I hit the streets to walk around and hopefully clear my head. As I roamed the streets I saw only a glass half empty. It seemed that I could not possibly think positively. I turned around the corner of a dirty side street and was confronted by a line small crowd of people lined up around the corner. I nearly bumped into someone. My curiosity got the best of me and I edged my way through the crowd as I tried to discern that cause of all the commotion. I finally manage to get to a better angle and it was there that I realized that this line was for a food truck. The Truck was a big and blue with yellow letters. There was a counter-like opening on its side that was clearly the business end of this operation.

 

The truck looked a little run down but the kitchen looked relatively clean and the smell of frying onions and cooked meats was undeniably delicious. I found my mood brightening in spite of myself. I edged in to the line and wondered to myself whether this could be considered a Providence Restaurant or if mobile food operations fell into a category of their own. Finally I was getting close enough to the truck that I could read the menu. I scanned my options and grappled with the difficult decision ahead. I was immediately drawn to the burritos because they are so awesome but I had seen some of the burritos other people had bought and they did not look that great. Rather than look at the menu, I used a strategy that I find invaluable whenever I go out to eat. Upon entering the restaurant I make a point of eyeballing everyone else’s food on the way to my table to get a sense of what I want to eat. Stay tuned for the stunning conclusion to my food cart escapade.
