Waiting for Customers
Pokhara, Nepal
November 2017
The sun is just about to set for the day. So the local restaurant owners bring their food and grills out to the street curbs in hopes of enticing people as they saunter home from work.
I am in search of a Himalayan Dragon beer which I find at one restaurant that is well prepared to handle a large, hungry crowd. I position myself behind a woman who sits behind a table filled with dried fish, spicy drumsticks, cubes of potatoes, chicken skewed on a stick, sausages, chicken feet and fried dumplings.
She turns on the propane fueled wok and slowly shimmers the potatoes and chicken feet. Her husband and another man carry out a wooden burning grill that is afflame. They gingerly place the grill down and leave it to the woman's charge. She sits patiently, waiting and hoping for the pending on-slaught of business.
