This played smooth and quick. I don't think I've ever heard IFTAR (Evening meal during Ramadan) before, and although APPA (Dad, in Korean) rang a distant bell, it didn't come without all the crosses. ORLESS (Sale sign words) and NAIL (Hit hard) were not obvious, but pretty much everything else seemed straightforward. "Offerings from a truck or cart" (STREETFOOD), "Oatmeal, e.g." (HOTCEREAL), "Literally, 'grilled meat'" (CARNEASADA)... 

Just a couple of funny clues today: "Phish-monger?" (SCAMARTIST), "Ay, there's the rub!" (MASSAGE), and did anybody else want SPIDEySENSE instead of SPIDERSENSE for "Intuitive ability in the Marvel Universe"?
