"Make me one with everything."
That's how the pony-tailed guy in faded shorts, Grateful Dead T-shirt and flip flops puts it to the hotdog vendor.
"I know just what you need" comes the reply. And a slightly browned Italian sausage is tonged off the sizzling hot plate and laid across a golden honey bun. Then comes a slathering of tangy Taka Tala Chutney, a squirt of Heintz Hotdog Relish, and a light sprinkling of onions.
The Heavenly Dawg is passed across the width of the vendor's cart, and a crisp twenty-dollar bill gets passed back.
The vendor takes another order.
The customer with hot dog in hand waits, and waits another minute. Finally looking askance, he clears his throat and says loudly, "I gave you twenty bucks, right?"
The vendor stops his grilling, and through a half-smile, offers humbly:
"My dear friend, all change comes from within."
