I went to downtown Peoria to eat at the Push Carts for lunch. There were all different kinds of foods at each cart with Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and American cuisine. I went to an American Cuisine cart by the name of Willie’s. When I got to the the cart and was waiting in line there were 3 people ahead of me waiting for their food. The wait for me was about 5 minutes and I would consider that a medium long, wait. Other people though, who ordered pork chops got their food immediately.
For my meal I had a Ribeye Steak ($8), ice cream ($4), and 2 Mtn. Dews ($2). The ice cream was bought at a shop called The Nut House which is on Main St. There were other available items at Willie’s such brats, pork chops, polish, chips, Sprite, Pepsi, etc. The cart itself was well used, it wasn’t exactly dirty, but it was not clean. There was a ton of smoke billowing out of the grill so it had a smoky smell. The grill on the cart looked liked it was a charcoal grill with the flames shooting up. The grill was a …show more content…
large one so it could and did have a lot of meat on it. The cart appeared to be all stainless steel and the was an overhanging piece to give the grillers some shade.
The service was excellent comparatively speaking.
I did have to wait a few minutes but the ribeyes were not done when I came, and there were quite a few people, keeping the workers busy. There were quite a few people behind me who ordered pork chops and they got theirs as soon as they ordered. My ribeye was very delicious and had a most tantalizing smell to it. It smelled like grill smoke, grease, and well-grilled meat. The shape of it was funny. It had an oval shape and there was quite a bit more meat off the bun than on it. There was a nice amount of fat on it. The piece was thin but pattied into a long shape. It was brown with black grill marks on it. It was one of the best pieces of meat I have tasted. It had an excellent, savory, greasy, smoky taste to it. There was nothing lacking from it and since the was so much juicy, meaty taste to it, no sauces were needed at
all.
