Fast, cheap, street food for folks with not a lot of time or cash have
been around probably as long as there has been busy thoroughfares. "You
know who" and other burger n' fries joints are, in many ways, the
successor and Americanization of this tradition.

One thing's for sure is that there will always be food snobs saying "no,
no!" Of course, most regular folks will continue to ignore these pushy
people. Sure it ain't fine dining but that's not the point - it never was.
