The only thing I like more than a corny play on words is a slightly naughty play on words, so the rough-and-tumble food truck in the parking lot at Planet X behind Chilkoot Charlie's had already won me over with its catchphrase: "Everyone loves a Quickie."
As a joke, it's cheap yet satisfying, which is an apt metaphor for the food. And when you're flipping burgers out of a van in Spenard, a little audacity is a fine thing. It helps if you're flipping some of this city's best burgers and -- no need to skip ahead -- they are.
