Chucos - Guatemalan Hot Dog

Dental Clinic Christmas lunch - the girl's, Ceci, Carmina, and Besty wanted us to experience the Chuco. They insisted we visit a eating establishment just on the street. I don't know if it had the stamp of approval from the Dept. of Health, but we visited the El Chino eating establishment. A delightful experience for lunch. Hopefully, no 'gringo' will have after effects from our dining experience.

Mom and Dad preparing the food for the lunch rush. Mom is so small she is standing on a box so she can reach the grill to prepare the food.

Chuco - infamous hot dog in Guatemala. A Chuco needs more hot dog than just a few small slices they put on the bun but the condiments added make it so tasty. Lots of hot sauce, onions, mustard, peppers it just lacked hot dog meat.

These men stand in the streets waving to cars to entice them to come down their street to the eating establishment they represent. VIP parking is generally reserved with a gallon bucket that they remove so you can park. They saw me take a picture so on the second photo they posed for me.

Every employer would love to have this young man work in their business. He was hustling tables with great ease. We were there during a busy time for their business and while Mom and Dad were preparing the food, this handsome young boy bused all the tables single handedly. His sister was behind us cooking the bacon over a small gas burner. He couldn't be more than 10 years old and the sister was younger.
