I’ve definitely considered opening a St. Paul Sandwich food truck or street-cart, but I do worry that it’s not my place to do so. People often catch flak for “cultural appropriation” these days, and I don’t want to offend, or be persecuted, as a white man selling a Chinese-American specialty.

Plus I’d have to give up my day job and take a big leap of faith. Now, I’ve never introduced the sandwich to anyone who didn’t end up enjoying it, once they tried it, but I’m just not confident enough that it would take off. Maybe I should just do it on weekends to test the waters?
