Converting a string to a char*

I have a program where I want to output a list of strings to a console window.

These strings come from my food.getFoodName() method (which returns a string) like "Steak", "Burger", "Sausage" etc.

I'm outputting these strings using a loop. Before I can output these strings, I need to convert the current string in the loop to a const char* so I can use it in my Draw_String() Method.

This is the code concerned in this process:

void DisplayFood(std::vector<Food> foods)
{



    for (int i = 0; i < foods.size(); i++)
    {
        const char * c = foods.at(i).getFoodName().c_str();

        Draw_String(10, i, c);
    }
}

inline void Draw_String(int x, int y, const char *string)
{
    // this function draws a string at the given x,y

    COORD cursor_pos; // used to pass coords
    // set printing position
    cursor_pos.X = x;
    cursor_pos.Y = y;
    SetConsoleCursorPosition(hconsole, cursor_pos);

    // print the string in current color
    printf("%s", string);

} // end Draw_String

std::string Food::getFoodName()
{
    return FoodName;
}

My issue is, this conversion doesn't work as intended, and my output on the screen is basically unreadable ascii symbols like "||||||||||||||||||"

I'm a noob at c++, only been doing this for like 10 weeks. But the issue is either the conversion process (most likely) or the printf method.

Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'd appreciate any help.
