Photo of the Day: Smiling Satay Man
Photograph by David Hagerman of Eating Asia
If you find yourself in Jakarta, this looks like the man you'd want to buy your satay (or "sate" in Indonesian) from. Between his happy face and confident stance holding that wad of stick meat, I would trust anything he cooks. Robyn Eckhardt of Eating Asia was lucky enough to try his food after waiting in a long line. (Smiling Satay Man seems to have a following.)

i like the satay man's enthusiasm. but i've never experienced "sate" and might have pause when observing...his teeth.
