The Food Shark is much more in line with GRM considering the old truck, old cars, and bus. I do find interesting the picture that appears to be the owners home along with the two refridgerators and more on the front porch.

Business Plan:

Combine 25 cents worth of bread with 50 cents worth of cheese. Add heat, sell for $4 bucks, repeat.

Could rival the hot dog cart for low overhead, high profit.

Mexican Coca Cola is made with cane sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. = good stuff. I can find it around here during pass over at the food stores that cater to Peoples of Jewish decent.

The food shark cars need "frikin lasers, but since sharks are now endangered we use Sea Bass".

You can get Mexican Coke by the case at Sam's Club around here, and it's on the shelf at WalMart. We call it "Mexicoke" Much tastier than the US stuff, more like what I grew up on in Canada. I notice that Pepsi is marketing some cola made with sugar right now as well.

For food from trucks, you can't beat poutine. French fries with cheese curds and gravy, Quebec's contribution to world cuisine. It's the exact opposite of Chinese food - eat a bag of the stuff and you may not feel full, but you won't want to eat for about a day. It's the best food in the world when it's cold outside.

I found this picture of a poutine truck on Flickr, and actually recognized the truck and where it sits. How sad is that?

dill pickles are good on grilled cheese, but I was watching Man vs. Food and the trick is not to put things on a grilled cheese, but put the grilled cheese on things.

Behold, the grilled cheese hamburger. It needs bacon, and a fried egg.

Now that we have that out of the way...

I have developed an evil plan to build a street food empire based on converted school buses serving specialized, semi-snooty foods. You'd have your hot dog bus (with Sonoran hotdoguero-inspired fare), your fry bus (serving primarily proper pomme frites, but other fried delights), your kebab bus (mediterranean skewered, grilled meats), your noodle bus (mainly SE asian styles), your sweets bus (with miniature versions of fancy plated deserts), your gelato bus, etc. All embedded with GPS so as to be easily located, each one Tweeting its daily menu.

And then there's the flagship: the double decker bus, which will serve a multi-course tasting menu for the tables on the open-air top deck, with each course served (while stopped, of course) at a location with a scenic tourist backdrop around the city. Live jazz accompanies.

Of course, once I become the Bus Emperor, I'll have to have one of my own to cruise around town in style. So, I'll take a front-engine short bus chassis and build a 20's style speedster body on it, a la Blastolene cars.

Yes, that will do nicely...
