Who would you buy street food from?



You might remember a scene from 'Lie to Me' where Lightman confronts a street vendor. Well take a look at this video...

About 20 seconds into the video they are interviewing a street vendor and when he is talking about the quality of his food you can see several subtle shrugs...

The next person interviewed, who won last year, watch his elbow flair out. He is making himself appear bigger, he is proud of his win and this is a subtle way of preening.

At 1:55 we see another vendor give us a shrug when saying what is the most popular dish he sells. He may not be sure what is the most popular, or perhaps he is promoting what he sells more of while another dish is more popular in regards to people loving the taste, or worse promoting the dish that is the cheapest from him to make so his profits rise... He is very passionite about his food. I'd give his food a try.

Now to the winner, it was the first person who gave us several shrugs when talking about the quality of his products...◦
