My nephew has a taco cart. His tacos improve people's emotional
health:

His tacos are great, but driving six miles each way and paying market-
in-the-park premium prices is a dealbreaker for me. Next Spring he's
opening a cafe that's only about two miles away:

I'm going to help him by doing some volunteer farming of chilies and
tomatoes next Summer. My sister (his mother) lives on an acre lot.
We can grow lots of Big Jims and Sandias, and he can stew them up and
freeze them, saving money and also giving him the locally grown
angle. I also think we should grow Summer lettuces. He's wanted to
cook professionally since he was a young teenager. During a semester
of college where he studied in NM, he fell in love with SW cuisine, a
love I share. He bought a building recently on a street called
"Southwest Avenue," where he's starting "Southwest Diner." I may even
get to do some food prep work there. Two entrees that I think he
should offer are cornmeal breaded tilapia, and occasionally chicken
fried steak. Top sirloin is often pretty cheap, and when cubed,
salted and peppered, floured and pan fried is so good, and so much
more tender than round steak. I had that very thing for breakfast
today, hand scored. I could have easily cut it with a butter knife.
