Queens, NY.Kenny Tafta, street chef, and Long Island City resident for nearly fifteen years was just signed as lead PR Representative for the New York comedians Dodd & Bartels.
"Tafta has the most popular heroes in Queens" explained Bartels, "we wanna be that popular."
A phenomenon that can only be attributed to his unique marketing skills, Tafta has customers lining up around 31st Avenue at lunch time daily. Urging consumers to not "be afraid" when trying his street side cart lunches, and using positive expressions such as "yah" and "yahhh" has helped his sales flourish in this shaky economic time.
"I usually get the falafel." Smiled Dodd.
When asked for a comment, Tafta quipped "I sell hot meat for a living, this shouldn't be much different."
Dodd and Bartels are booked to perform at The Neptune Diner through the holidays in a comedy sensation entitled They're Good, Don't be Afraid, Just Try Them, Yahhh.
