one of those tent style kitchens popped up at the end of our block off thomas road - been there for months - always nice vehicles eating there so i gave it a shot

ordered a quesadila - it was $10 which was pretty steep for cheese only but i was down

dude walks up to the flat grill with a giant ball of shredded cheese - drops it on the grill directly (its still in a ball) - i started flashing back to the west side of phx growing up - i had seen and tasted this movie before

he throws a hella grande homemade tortilla on the grill and just coats the top in butter - he flips his cheese ball which was oozing and carmelizing and presses it down to get the same effect faster on the other side - the smell was stupid good

he flips the tortilla - more butter - flips it again - throws the now lava-esqu cheese on one side - folds it and smashes it with the hardcore spatula with both burnt cheese and newly surfaced cheese escaping out of all sides evenly about an inch or so around the half moon

but i haven't gotten to the good part yet - the cheese and butter laced tortilla absorbed any and everything they cooked on that flat grill tonight - the grilled onions and carne asada being the most prevalent

matter fact im gonna walk back over and throw some more dough in the tip jar because i want this to be a relationship built on love and trust

Damnit! Every time I read this I gain three pounds and get constipated.
Next time add hot sauce!

I feel my arteries hardening just reading this. Love it!

Is this still around? If so, Thomas and what? I have to run to Harbor Freight sometime this weekend and can hit the 32nd st. one instead of the N. Phoenix store.

35th Place and Thomas - southwest corner with red top tents

it's there most nights starting around sunset - I can look down my street and tell you if it's there or not lol

ive discovered the later you go the more flavors end up in your quesadila

got one when they were opening - grill was still clean and it was just cheese and butter - completely different taste

Thanks! I think I might have seen it before. And if later is better then that's a good excuse to kill time at Bourbon first after I pick up the parts I need. ;)
