Leap


first blossoms in the East Village

The cart has made a quantum leap.
I am still waiting for one
in my writing and photography.

The change of season is part of it.
Moving from winter (consolidation)
to spring (dilation), with
attendant crowds on the streets
at Stanton and Ludlow.
But where's my other work going?

Cartside, my understanding of
the technology and my vision for
future changes has snapped
into sharper focus.

I've made a major innovation
in my BBQ chicken sandwich recipe.

I've changed over
to using chicken thighs --
As Jeffrey, my butcher, says
"Thighs have a better hang time."
meaning they don't dry out
if you hold them at a hot temperature.

One of my regulars says:
"They are really the better part
of the chicken."
meaning they've got more flavor
and get over this low-fat crazyness.

I can get thighs already boned-out,
a 10 lb bag for $15.

I rub them with spices
and roast them on spits,
like the chinese
cook their BBQ pork.

(One side-result of my
tests can be seen here.)

It's pretty fucking delicious,
and it fills out the menu
beautifully.

As for the rest, I'm working
on hypercities, I did this
interview on Gothamist
(which was well recieved),
I changed the template for
this page a bit...
and I'm not really sure what.
I'm waiting for a break-through...
