Close competition

For a combined forty-five years these three faithful food carts have operated on Pioneer Courthouse Square: Honkin’ Huge Burritos, for twenty years; Hot Dogs on the Square, for fifteen years; Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches, for ten years. From 20 degrees to 100 degrees, rain or shine, they are always there to serve food to the faithful who hang out at the Square. They get moved around and pushed around and sometimes disappear when big events take over the Square. They each have enthusiastic followers, who will gladly give passersby a personal testimonial. Besides the people, the pigeons love the scraps that they get everyday. I’ve tried all three and can’t possibly endorse one over the other. We’re lucky to have all three of these close competitors with the choices they bring to the hungry Square goers.
