Three carne asada tacos from La Fondita #2 in White Center (9811 15th Ave. S.W.) and a giant ear of corn on the cob from the stand across the parking lot. I guess you could spend $13 dollars, if you hopped two blocks south to Big Al’s Brewing (9832 14th Ave. S.W.) and filled your growler with a summer lager (opens at 3:00 p.m. during the week). You’d still have some money left over for some pork rinds from Carniceria El Paisano up the street (9629 15th Ave. S.W.).The lady above at the corn and fruit cocktail stand (??) is Joan De Luca, a King County Health Inspector who, though mild mannered enough, was scaring the crap out of the sweet little thing working the truck. There were no major infractions, just no proof of a food handler’s permit and glove issues. In my experience, the health department always has a glove issue. Didn’t stop me from getting ten buttery inches of pure summer joy. (Pro move: Tell them to leave the husk on if you’re getting the corn to go so it stays warm.)
