Chulte, Chulte, Who's Got the Chulte?

The other day, Plotnik posted a picture of a taco truck parked around the corner from Langer's in MacArthur Park, Stiletto City. Research since then has failed to turn up what a 'chulte' is.

It is likely to be Mexican and not Central American, since the truck offers no 'pupusas' for sale, and quesadillas are common in all parts of Mexico. The neighborhood is equally Mexican and Central American so either one could be possible.

So, who is willing to go down to Westlake Avenue and Seventh Street, one block east of Alvarado, walk up to the truck and order a chulte or a plate of chultes for that matter, then take a picture and send a photo and report to The Great Plotnik? For this service, a Great Plotnik Hall of Fame Medal would be awarded, as well as a Hero Photo published.

Also, you could treat the chulte as an appetizer and walk a block to Langer's for a pastrami, for lunch, and if you can still walk after that, head over to Mama's Tamales a few doors down for some take-out for dinner.

If no one volunteers, Great PD the job will have to be yours in a few weeks.

I love that if I Google "chultes" now, TGP comes up as the number four result!

Plot, I'll ask Fernando what it is. If he doesn't know, it doesn't exist. Originally I thought it meant "home made" but now I'm not sure,.
