The Halal Guys (commonly known as Chicken and Rice, 53rd and 6th, Caravan, or Platters) is a halal gyros food cart on the south-east corner of 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The franchise also has a cart on the south-west corner of the same intersection during weekdays from 7pm-4am and weekends until 5am. New locations are being added throughout New York, including a storefront on 14th Street and Second Avenue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Halal Guys )〕 The cart is most recognized by its primary dish which is a platter of chicken and/or gyro meat with rice〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=53RDand6TH We Are Different )〕 while it also serves a chicken and/or gyro wrap. The cart opens from 10:00 am,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ask Midtown Lunch: Best Chicken and Rice Cart )〕 and does not close until 4 am.〔 ==History== The Halal Guys was founded in 1990 by Mohamed Abouelenein, from Egypt,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Halal Guys: Cashing In on Street Cred )〕 as a cart located on 53rd and 6th.〔 The cart began as a hot dog vendor, however Abouelenein believed that the hot dog was not a satisfying meal and switched to the current menu of chicken, gyro meat, rice, and pita in 1992.〔 The cart has caused a decline in the popularity of hot dog vendors in New York City and has influenced many imitation carts.〔 A cart known as ''New York's Best Halal Food'' also located on 53rd and 6th next on the SW corner, weekdays until 7pm. It is unknown which cart was located at the intersection first. 'New York's Best Halal Food' also has a strong following and long line of lunchtime patrons. They wear similar attire (bright yellow shirts) and serve the same type of food though the texture, taste, and freshness is slightly different. On October 28, 2006, a fight that started on line ended with 23-year-old Ziad Tayeh stabbing and killing 19-year-old Tyrone Gibbons. Tayeh was later found not guilty, as the jury found that he acted in self-defense. The fight began after one accused the other of cutting in line. ''The New York Times'' once reported that the owners had hired bouncers.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Halal Guys」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
