Fuck Hot Dogs

When it comes to delicious, fast street food, most Americans think of the New York hot dog.
And to that, I have but one thing to say--fuck hot dogs. When I'm walking down the street looking for a fast, cheap, tasty snack, the last thing I want is an 800 calorie, sodium packed casing of cheek and ass meat that's gonna make me bloated and gassy the rest of the day.

Give me a plastic bag full of freshly cut fruit. Watermelon, mango, pineapple, cantelope, cucumber, hikama. With salt, lime, and chilly powder. Sweet, salty, sour, spicy. Delicious. Mouth watering. During the warm months in Los Angeles (which is most of the year) I crave my bag of fruit from the fruit cart on La Cienega and Pico. When its hot outside, nothing is more satisfying.
