The guy in the dark shirt makes my breakfast and late night snacks most days.

I just think of Jeff when I see this one :)

I am also reminded of how incredibly hungry I am, and with that I will go get myself a Burrito! Thanks Fred.

btw, what is he making? (i'm guessing not muslim seafood pancakes :)

He's making Roti Prata (aka Parotha, Roti Chanai, etc), a wheat pancake that's usually eaten with curry. It's fluffier than naan because its tossed real thin and folded but is heavier than crepes. Optional fillings include chopped onion, egg, ground mutton, sardines, chicken, or banana with ice cream topping. An serious amount of oil is used to enhance the fluffy interior and crispy exterior. Every vendor has their own style and some guys have a devoted following among the late night crowd. The guy in the picture is renting a corner from the Muslim eatery hence the signboard. His menu is in the upper left corner. Hope you enjoyed your burrito. 8-)
