    I’m betting they didn’t mean it to be racist. I wish I had roadside stalls as options to eat at where I work. A lot of times those end up being better quality and I like the thought of giving money to the people directly making the food instead of a corporate overlord that takes 95% of the money and makes the workers divide the 5% among all of them.

      We don’t have roadside stalls around me, but that’s exactly what food trucks are for. When I used to work near a bunch of food trucks, the food was fantastic, always different, and so much better than a chain restaurant

        I travel a lot for work so I’ve been to a pretty large number of restaurants and such. I’ve definitely had bad food from food trucks before, but it isn’t very common for it to be abysmal. It’s not like a restaurant that can have other factors like atmosphere, lighting, etc. If the food is bad they won’t last long. Never seen a true roadside stall any of the places I’ve been though unfortunately. I’m honestly so sick of chain restaurants. They completely take over and drive local stuff out a lot of the time.
