Ken Henley: Knish Correspondent
Hello fellow cart lovers. My name is Ken Henley and I will be your iHeartCarts Knish Correspondent. Each week I will go to a different cart that serves delicious potato knishes and provide you with thorough details of my experience. At each specific cart, I will also ask two important questions to the cart guy(s): 1. What is your personal favorite item that you serve?And 2. What is your craziest cart experience?
Week 1 (8/4/06): I arrived at cart row and stopped at the first cart I could find, as I was in charge of ordering 10 scrumptious knishes for 10 hungry AGS employees. I immediately asked the cart guy what his favortie cart food is. He told me that the most popular dish for his customers is the chicken kebab, but his personal favorite is... the potato knish! Because it was his favorite, it had to be good, and I had to get to know him on a more personal level. He told me his name was Chris, and when I could not find a name for the cart, he told me it was called "Crazy Cart"! What a perfect response to lead in to my next question. When asked what his craziest cart experience has been, Chris told me that on a hot day last summer, the gas in his cart died at around noon when he had quite a long line of customers. His customers slowly left to eat at various other vendors at cart row. Chris lost an estimated $500 that day. More sad than crazy really, but an interesting tid bit of cart life.
Chris charged me a whopping $2 per knish, so they had better have been good. Now, since I have no basis of comparison because this is the first knish I have had in years, all am going to say is that it was pretty tasty. The temperature was good, and was filled with the perfect amount of no frills spicy brown mustard. I have a feeling though that without the mustard the meal would have been a little bland, but i expect that with all knishes.All in all, a good looking smaller cart, a nice guy and tasty knish. To all those who had a taste of one of Chris's fine knishes, please post your own reponses.
See you all next week,
Ken Knish, from Connecticut
your knish Correspondent

Hello Ken,
Are you limiting your comparison of Knish to just potato, or are you willing to try different types of Knish?
Is that knish really small, or does that guy have HUGE HANDS? Look at that thumb! It's like the woman from seinfeld!
Whre the hello are you posting from, an underground lair? What is the background in the picture all about?
Also, Ken Henley is obviously a made up name, right? No one would actually be named that, would they?
I must say I do know this kenly person and while the name is real, nothing else about him is.
I don't really dig mustard, but want to try a knish sometime. Does your knish correspondent have some ideas as to what i could use instead of mustard?
is this knish thing a regular feature on your site? it's hilarious! can we suggest questions for him to ask the knish guy?
