Anyone own a food truck or trailer?

[NJ John]

Thanks guys. We have come a long way. Some local guy made the video for free!

Birria Tacos. Hell yes!
We have a Birria stand near where I work. They are always crowded at lunch time.

Really nice vid John. It appears that the brick and mortar is working out well for you and the family.

The ice sculpture melted a lot today and the color parts were all colored sand.

It’s worth a lot of money to someone. Pizza trucks usually do well.

My late brother had a 20' food trailer. It was set up for pizzas with a pizza oven. He never got it up to speed for retail food. He made pizzas and gave them away to his neighbors. He complained about bein' a big guy workin' in a small space.

He gave me the trailer before he passed. I've never seen it. It's a trailer. I need a tow vehicle to pull it and that's pretty far down my priority list.

I fixed it.
The restaurant is doing great! Today was insane! This was the first time we worked while the town had an event going on. It was sunny and pretty warm. So tons of people came out. The line was going down the sidewalk!
I worked the food trailer on Thursday and my wife ran the restaurant. My bug had just been sitting, broke. I’ll get free time, eventually.

Saw this one at a local event in Langley BC last summer. There was a line up all day and evening so I think they must have done fairly well.

Right on. I’ll check back when I get some time to get it back together. Thanks!

At big events, everyone makes money. Sometimes people just go to the shortest line. It only hurts your pride in the beginning. Lol
You just have to check with the health department on what your allowed to do. Most states still require a three compartment and hand wash sink on a cart. You can make all that stuff. There’s a site selling the tiny sinks. I can explain if you need to do it. I made all my stuff.

My girlfriend at the time wanted to sell locally made sausage, (we have a local sausage place that will make things to your spec) on pretzel rolls. She has a friend who's a pretzel baker. Maybe some little packs of potato salad... I thought she had some good ideas. I could see a Bavarian theme with the Split tugging the doggie cart around.

I went to our local Balloon Festival this year and people were 100 deep waiting in line for pretty much anything. It seems like you could make some good cash at festivals and local events.

It looks like a money maker to me. Do it daily. Find a great spot that’s legal, and open shop. In Jersey, hot dog carts and trucks are popular and kill it just selling dirty water dogs. Not so much here in Maryland, people want sausage sandwiches.

I keep referring back to this thread to check your progress. Sounds like your killing it!

A little over a year ago I picked up a dilapidated, vintage hot dog cart. It's a project, but I hope to get it reassembled in the near future. It would be quite a departure from what I currently do, but I can see the potential in using it at some of the Summer events we have locally, plus, it looks like it would be a lot of fun. More fun than swinging hammers at Porsches anyhow.

Thanks for updating and sharing your success.

Wow, just finished 4 days of craziness,Thursday through Sunday. Everyone seems very happy that we’re open. We hardly worked the food trailer 4 days in a row. So, I’m not use to this volume. All good though.
