When the new restaurant opened its doors,

the words on the window read Street Food.

 

I asked if the food was cooked in the street.

They said, ‘No, it is cooked in a kitchen.’

 

I asked if the food was served in the street.

They said, ‘No, it is served at a table.’

 

I asked in what way, could they say, this was street food.

They said, ‘Get out of my restaurant.’
