Campus food carts

[Horny 2]

I’m planning a trip down nostalgia lane here and was wondering if the food cart by the littlefield fountain is still there.  It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been there but the younger dude who use to run it was legit. He use to take your order and get your change before you knew what you said.  Kinda like the Wendy’s dude.  This was back in 2000 or so. I use to live off that chicken fried rice and lemonade they sold. Anyways, I’d like to go by again if it’s still around.

he gone.

Not sure if still there. I think the last time I ate at one was before a game in maybe 2011-12.

That chicken fried rice and pink lemonade while babe-watching on the six-pack was a defining UT experience from 96-00

not local, organic, or humane enough for the current students. 

 

 

also, getting busted money laundering didn't help.

It was my understanding that was the other family that had stands, specifically the one outside of the Co Op.

I miss those egg rolls. The feral cat population is through the roof, now.

The And Stand got shut down a while back.

I used to hit the roach coach by the engineering buildings often, along with the one by the main mall. Their hot mustard was damn good. An egg roll and pint of fried rice for like $3. Oh, and who ever said ‘96 - 2000 nailed when i was on campus.

Back in the Dark Ages, ('78-'82), I only remember the egg roll carts. The ones I remember were in front of the CoOp, the RLM, and by Littlefield Fountain. There may have been others.

I don't remember them selling anything but egg rolls and soda, but they may have. I think the egg rolls were $0.50.

[Blotto 23,757]

Were they the same guys that sold calzones, or was that a different operation? I seem to remember killing a fair amount of those in RLM as well.

Saigon Eggrolls

Egg rolls, fried rice, Indian bread, etc. It was all my jam back in 00-04. And yeah, it wasn’t money laundering. They were fencing stolen goods from west campus hobo burglaries.

Loved the Indian bread (no racist). Also ate tons of egg rolls and stromboli, although for a couple of years around 91-93 there was a separate stromboli-only stand right on 26th by the engineering buildings, that had better stromboli.  It was more expensive though.

fried rice and eggroll were heaven. 

[gyroprotagonist 2,595]

yep, the indian bread thing was a staple of of my diet.  those guys could really make it seem like you were not eating cat.

[Ghost of LL 15,606]

I can't imagine how much fried rice I ate from that guy in the mid-90's.
