Black guy ordering food: " I would like to have..." White waiter: (interrupting) "THE CHICKEN!" Black guy: (stunned silence) "... How... how did you know that I was gonna get some chicken??" Ethnic profiles and stereotypes aside, it's nothing ...

Even though their “C” rating from the health department is displayed prominently above piles of wood stacked five feet high (can’t be sanitary) I love Pollo a la Brasa’s spit fired, smoky chicken. Besides, the health department… they’re all a bunch of haters. As an added plus, none of the employees speak English at this Salvadorean run joint, and it’s always a good time to break out the Peace Corps gringo in me and order “dos pollos con cebolla y cilantro por favor”.
