Thank you for your contribution to this discussion.

So what makes Doomie's perspective any less worthwhile here?  ::)

I thought it was appropriate and relevant to the discussion.

Walkie's concerns regarding possible grossness/illnesses are why I have shied away (and I know these concerns are likely irrational as I stated in the first post) from food trucks but I would be willing to risk it with this one.

here's an idea

pack your lunch.  you control what you eat.  you know the preparation of it is safe.  it is cheaper.  unless of cource you think you will look like a dork and you care way too much about what other people think of you because bringing your own lunch is so uncool and people might think you are poor.  start supporting your own ideas and not some total stranger.  for all you know, they are serving you cat.

^^^^Best advise.

I started doing this a while ago.  It has totally changed the way I eat AND spend money.  Not only do not blow 6-8 bucks a day on lunch, but the way I fritter away money has totally changed.  Best lifestyle change I've made in ages, as evidenced  by my growing savings account.

I'm sick of packing lunches but have been doing so for most of my work life. In some cases, there just wasn't anything within a reasonable distance to where I was working and the place either had no food options on site or it was just inedible without getting sick. Boy, I could tell you some school cafeteria horror stories that would make the nastiest food truck seem like a gourmet treat!

Have also worked in a lot places that don't have a refrigerator which limits what you can safely store until lunchtime. Then there were the schools that had refrigerators but it wasn't worth using because the parents would always steal the teachers lunches.

Now I'm lucky enough to just go home for lunch except the time is so short that all I do is eat something very quick. I'm a slow eater so sticking around wouldn't give me anymore real eating time. Deal with that by snacking at work when I get a chance.

It's nice to take a diversion once in awhile but it seems those trucks tend to only venture into areas that already have plenty of restaurant and carry out options. I've never seen or heard of any around here and have a feeling that the town wouldn't allow them so they don't compete with the many restaurants. I don't know though. Either way, I doubt that I'd bother with buying from one.

Today's menu, leftover jambalaya.

Yum! Even better leftover because it gives it more time to absorb all of those delicious spices. Only thing is, that's one of those foods that I rarely chance eating at lunchtime for fear of needing an excessively long break before my work day is over.

Or shitting your pants.

Poor Chaz. Let's hope that we haven't ruined his afternoon with our explosive powers of suggestion.

You said 'explosive'!


Ahh, poop jokes.

i don't know much about food trucks, but if jose andres has one its probably delicious

and i had healthy choice soup for lunch

Actually…

Anyone been to American Eats??

Overpriced crap I tell you. I'd rather spend $12 at a food truck.

It was good.

I am fine.

At 40 my guts are still fairly iron clad.

I do have something to contribute, it's that the food trucks I've been to sucked.  I just put it more delicately.

I eat from food trucks on a fairly regular basis and find the food quite tasty from most of them.  My favorite at the moment is rolls on rolls serving up tasty indian food http://www.facebook.com/rollsonrolls ; in general the Halal grill trucks are worth seeing out.  The El Flordian and Fiecelle sandwich trucks are yummy.

No but I have been to Zaytinya and it is phenomenal.

And then we'll have this ice cream flauta. Flautas are these long very thin things. They make very cute sandwiches because even a lady with a very small
mouth can enjoy this very long flauta. And then the ice cream is kind of like an elongated whoopee pie.


oh man

hahahahahahaahhahaha
