Kareem ambushes a straphanger with a bold claim: Puerto Rican food beats Dominican food, hands down. The debate zeroes in on potato salad. Purple potato salad? That's what Dominicans make, apparently, with beets that have no business being there. "You ever seen blue potato salad?" Kareem asks. The rider stays diplomatic at first but can't help defending arroz con gandules, which he calls "the essence of Puerto Rican flavor." It's a playful food fight between two Caribbean cuisines, with Kareem leading the charge on behalf of Puerto Rico and the stranger trying to stay neutral before his true loyalties slip out.
