00:00This is the most genuine food vendor you'll ever meet.
00:02The meat in his sandwich is ten times thicker than the bread,
00:05and he still sells it for just a dollar.
00:07Why? Because it was his kid's favorite snack.
00:09But one day at a street fair his child disappeared.
00:12Since that day he's kept his cart on the same corner.
00:14Before dawn, while the sky is still dark,
00:16he's already kneading dough and slow braising the meat.
00:19He always piles on extra meat,
00:21cooking it until it practically melts in your mouth,
00:23all to recreate the flavor his kid once loved.
00:25Every slice of meat is cut thick,
00:27and the smell of the stew drifts through the alley early in the morning.
00:30People tell him to raise the price,
00:32that with that much meat he could earn ten times more,
00:34but he just shakes his head and keeps it at one dollar.
00:37He wants anyone, no matter who they are, to be able to enjoy it,
00:40just like his child once did.
00:42Years have gone by, neighbors all know him now.
00:44Some stop by every day, others are just passing through,
00:47when that incredible aroma makes them stop in their tracks.
00:50Everyone knows he's waiting for someone who never came back.
00:53Next to the cart, there's always a small stool.
00:55That seat is for his child.
00:56He believes that someday, as evening breezes blow,
00:59he'll hear those familiar footsteps,
01:01and in that moment, he'll hand over the most fragrant,
01:03most perfect sandwich straight into his child's hands.
