I hang out with The Hot Dog King for a few minutes most days Monday through Friday. Those few minutes coming and going from the foodbank are a far cry from the hours I was burning up there back in September. Not that that was a bad thing. No, it was alot like Outland's Man's Couch strips san guys sitting around in their underware. Lot's of hairy chested bantering, all too much commentary. The best part about hanging out with him though was talking food, well, food talk in-between customers and all the mandatory NY style banter that goes on.
We've talked of all the foods that we've known and dreamed up menus and then every once in a while turn that pie in the sky into a slice of reality. If it wasn't for all that chit chat about Tommy's burgers and Coney Island dogs we would have never gotten Chili Dog Tuesdays (and Thursdays!) off the ground. We did a beta test on tamales a few weeks back and have been looking for proper restaurant gear to keep bao and fried rice at a proper temp. Asian food Mondays might not be too far off.
So we dream and launch when we can, but after reading through the list of foodstuffs that are available down sout on LA on foodtrucks, well, I know that we have only one way to go and that's to the used food truck lot. If a four wheeled kitchen is what it takes to truly expand our menu, well then, it's time to get a business license, a food handler's permit and a bigger dose of dreams. Well, the dreams come easy, I can see it'll be a bit of a hassle for two big egos to come up with one name to grace the side of that big ol' chrome shingled beast!
Dos Pendejos? Bi-Coastal Fusion? Pancho Schwartz Rides Again? The business name opportunities are endless! Take a look at the article posted below and see why I have a secret agenda for wanting job offers to come from down south!
Salud!
