Zoeylicious slowed to a stop at the corner of Jefferson and Hyde. A crowd of curious onlookers gathered at the curb.

Dallin stood in the doorway of Trolley 2 and held out his arms. “People of San Francisco, Zoeylicious is now open for business! Step on in for the lifetime of a dining experience! Wait, I mean…”

In Trolley 1, Zoey clapped a hand to her forehead.

Dallin looked down at his left hand. (He’d written his lines on his palm in case of, well, this.) “I mean, the dining experience of a lifferham…my hand’s sweaty.”

The people on the sidewalk responded with befuddled stares.

Dallin made an eh-forget-it! face. (If you’ve ever watched your uncle Bubba try to do a sit-up, you’ve seen it.) “You got mouths, we got food. Get on if you want some.”

In Trolley 3, Valentine & the Night Owls launched into a lively rendition of Duke Ellington’s “Take the A Train.” Knuckles played with sticks, and Valentine went after those high As. More and more onlookers gathered on the sidewalk. Some clapped to the music. An elderly couple started dancing. Then, one by one, couple by couple, group by group, the onlookers stepped aboard Trolleys 2 and 3.

Zoey watched through the serving windows as Dallin ushered customers to tables and handed them menus. At the back of Trolley 2, a serving window aligned with another serving window in Trolley 3. Through these windows, Zoey could see Gershwin greeting customers and jotting down orders on a three-by-six order pad.

The driver’s box door opened. Knuckles sat half turned, one hand on the steering wheel, the other hand holding open the door. “Go time?”

“Go time,” Zoey said.

Knuckles pulled the compartment door closed. Stainless-steel light fixtures swayed overhead as Zoeylicious rolled forward.

From Trolley 2, Dallin reached through the serving windows into Trolley 1, his pudgy fingers clasping a wrinkled ticket. “Order’s up.”

Zoey accepted the ticket, read it.
