Gary: Where do you normally go for lunch?
Romeo: The food carts, where else would I go?
Gary: Oh, I usually just go to a restaurant.
Romeo: A restaurant? Man, food carts are the best. What are you talking about? Especially if you’re on the go you just step up to the window, you get your food, step right out of line, and let the next person go.
Gary: I don’t know. I guess the few times I have been to the food carts they’re just overloaded with people. It’s so hard to place an order.
Romeo: Well, how else do you expect them to make a profit?
Gary: That’s a good point, I don’t know when I’ve seen it, it just seems like it’s kind of unsanitary.
Romeo: You never notice how the dirtiest places make the best food?
Gary: I have not noticed that.
Romeo: That’s true talk, man! Go to a restaurant, go to a food cart, if it’s dirty, you’ll notice the food is the best.
Gary: How many food carts do they normally fit in a pod?
Romeo: However many you can get in there.
Gary: OK. Does a pod normally take up a city block? Or is it just a couple next to each other?
Romeo: I’ve been to a few pods where you got about eight. You kind of just walk into a circle and choose wherever you want to go. You ever want to go man, I’ll take you man!
Gary: I appreciate that!
Romeo: Step outside of the norm man, get away from the restaurant. I’ll take you to a food cart!
