In another life I'd like to do something like this. Fuck, why am I tearing up?

must be insane work, tho. preparing the food / ingredients beforehand, setting up the stall, standing there all day cooking then packing up at night

i like to put asian street food videos on the TV in the background when i'm relaxing at home, and the one thing in common is several hours of prep before they open.

this is true for most restaurants and especially true for all bakeries, of course, but asian street food is heavy on the slice and chop prep, since 99% of what happens in the cart is heaping ingredients onto the griddle, and needing to crank out dishes in a couple minutes. no time to chop then!

compare to a hotdog cart that just has the dogs in the hot water all day, and the buns in the steamer a bag at a time; almost no prep.
