CP's burger trolley

In search of a Connaught Place institution

Are they gone?

The burger trolleys of Connaught Place (CP) would serve those among us who strive to find contentment in cheaply priced street cuisine. The metal carts were spread across the corridors and plazas of CP. They stocked burgers, but also patties, sandwiches, paneer kulche, "hot dog," and cream-rolls.

This weekday afternoon, despite making two rounds of the Inner and Outer Circle, not a single burger trolley is sighted in the entire CP.
