chicken truck

2010
brooklyn, ny

my friend joanna had her 26th birthday party at a bar called hot bird, which is in walking distance from my apartment. it was a memorable party because i met my friend reg for the first time, hung out with my friend kanani for the second time after meeting her a month earlier, and now all of us are really close and have a brunch club called "super fucking awesome (SFA) brunch club" with a few of our other friends. (we also do adventures and vacations together. sometimes we're called the SFA adventure club or SFA vacation club.)

now, hot bird used to have a chicken truck parked in its fenced-off outdoor seating area. they've since gotten rid of it and there have been rumors of a sausage truck replacement, but as of now, there's nothing there. on the night of the party, though, there was chicken, and some of us ate it. but, having had lots of drinks that night, there was also a collective desire to go to the mcdonald's across the street to get a mcflurry (for me) and chicken nuggets (for reg and kanani). the issue, however, is that this mcdonald's only keeps its drive-thru open late and not its actual restaurant. so we had to go through the drive-thru to get near the food, and they refuse to serve you if you're not in a car. so reg and i waited on the sidewalk while kanani bribed a car to buy her the 4-piece chicken nuggets, though we didn't know she was doing this at the time. but yeah, i miss that chicken truck.
