Predawn Chicago Street Food Vendor with Udon Bowl and Tongs in Illinois

by Christine Lynch

A street food cart glows under the harsh sodium lights of a Chicago corner in the predawn darkness. Steam rises from a large metal pot of bubbling udon noodles topped with tempura flakes, illuminated by the vendor’s work lamp. A pair of long metal tongs rests across the rim of the steaming broth. The vendor, bundled in a heavy winter coat, tends to the food while standing on the cracked sidewalk. Nearby, a few pedestrians hurry past, their breath visible in the cold air. The gritty, energetic reality of a late-night or early-morning meal stop in Illinois, with the urban backdrop of brick buildings and wet pavement reflecting the dim city lights.
