Gaztro-Wagon

The ability to attack in multiple ways is a huge advantage, which is why in Tekken it's always best to be the old dude who can switch between a regular stance and drunken ma...holy s***, does that dude have the head of f****** tiger!? Pick him! Setting up numerous points of attack on your stomach: The Gaztro-Wagon.

A two-pronged grub assault from a well-traveled chef bent on running his own food truck, GW's eponymous gustatory "wagon" will be aided by a 12-seat brick-n-mortar outlet (fitted with wood-trim and black & white tile) serving as the truck's headquarters (if you can even call something not attached to a mountain with a launching boulder top and laser guns a "headquarters"). The main focus are flatbread-wrapped "Naan-wiches", brimming with gourmet goodness like chicken thighs w/ Cabrales, micro celery, & spiced orange sauce; gyro-style slow-roasted lamb; and wild boar belly w/ fennel, olives, yogurt, and shaved red onions, though all the shaving in the world won't compensate for that smell. House-fried plantain chips break up potential mo-naan-tony (!), and you can wash it all down with Black Dog Gelato milkshakes (pistachio-caramel, strawberry-almond, peanut butter malt...) which'll also be frozen into push-up form, leading your gym teacher to once again question your masculinity.

Topping it off're a selection of sweets baked by Fritz Pastry, from oatmeal cream pies, to caramel popcorn, to "macaron mixta", a mixture of flavored macarons so delicious you'll be helpless to stop their multiple attacks on your waistline.
