Food Truck Ideas

I am starting a food truck and am wondering what would be an appealing name. I am wanting to serve fried foods - like fair foods and ballpark foods - corn dogs, cheese steaks, funnel cake, etc...Also, is there something I should definitely be serving? Like what is your favorite thing to find at a food truck?

It doesn't fucking matter what MY favorite thing is, what matters is what your customers want in your area.

>>fried foods
>>cheese steaks

Wait, so you're planning on deep frying things and then ALSO working a flattop? If it were me I'd stick with just one cooking method. Simplicity is key on a food truck.

Fuck that's a good point.. :/

Can you cook something greatly
Will the customer buy it
Is it possible to do it in a food truck quickly since they won't will to wait a lot of time
Can you make money out of it

Me personally? I'd serve crab legs.

Baked potato.

Just keep a solid rotation with oven throughout busy times.

Did not sell so many today? Throw rest away, is just potato.

Maybe add cheese and salt. Mayonnaise and bacon for the white people.

>serve crab legs
>buy film projector and show true capekino on a big sheet
>profit

i'd serve homemade soups to go, imagine that: you're going back home on sunday morning with a huge hangover and you're dreaming just about a nap and a big cup full of tasty, rich and greasy chicken stock with noddles... suddenly: a wild soup truck appears! you get a big cup-to-go of your dreamy soup for, idk, 2$? [poland here] and you're heading home happy, just to enjoy your nutricious bullion and go to sleep after a hard saturday party (or sth).

So, effectively traditional Americana type fare?

Just call it something that immediately conveys what it is and what it does. Putting a "Mrs" or "Uncle" in front of a name is pretty eye catching.

Poutine. French fries truck. Fuck yeah

some insufferable white trash loser i knew in high school started a vegan food truck. apparently some young stupid hipsters go there and he stays afloat.

This is actually a great idea, OP.

Make it a specialist fries truck. Different ways to do fries. You can include things like burgers etc but fries as a thing could be pretty novel and everyone likes them in some way or another.

Call it "The Potato Gigolo".

>The Friar Truck

>white trash
>vegan

I'm not saying it's impossible but...really?

USE THE FUCKING CATALOG.

That's a terrible name for a food truck.

Sounds like he's doing better then you if he owns his own business and makes sweet money off of University idiots. Also,
>white trash
Go back to tumblr

Call it "The Best Fair Foods You'll Ever Taste"

Make a deep fried cheesesteak brah.

...or you could turn them into mash, which should hold over to the next day.

call it "Cuck on Wheels".

fried chicken sandwiches. a good bit of veggies and nice sauce.

You have to go back

THISTHISTHIS

Have the rear end of the truck be where you serve customers and have the side be the screen you project on

Back to your containment board fag.

With shit like that, your truck should be a repurposed ambulance and named with some clever heart attack pun.

I live in the culturally-blighted suburban hinterlands, and I would kill for a fucking consistently available soup truck. Food trucks come around to the larger apartment complexes maybe once, realize they can't make a profit, and then fuck off forever.

Sometimes I just want non-canned soup that someone else made and a heel of fresh, crusty bread. Instead I get Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and McDonald's, and fat old white people everywhere.

TruckDonald's. free publicity, change name the moment you get the C&D letter. win

That's the worst fucking idea I've ever heard.

I'm still mad we never got our promised CK Bros Taco foodtruck.

>TruckDonald's. free publicity, change name the moment you get the C&D letter. win

TruckTrump. Cash in for the next few weeks, then lose big time in November.

Vietnamese springrolls! There are few better fried foods than a good spring roll

>I am starting a food truck and am wondering what would be an appealing name

Best name going

Sam 'n Ella's

Has a nice ring to it, no?

that would be fucking cool

and you'd probably get human interest local news stories on you're "clever" idea

fuck

>fair foods and ballpark foods
>ballpark foods

Chicken drums. Better than wings, delicious, lots of variations, and CHEAP. You could charge $0.50 a leg and make double your money. Cook the drums ahead of time sous-vide and fry or saute them for quick turnover.

Also, calzones. With two people you could run a calzone truck much the same way they run a Little Caesars.

Foreclosed

:)

Do roasted corn on the cob, serve it on a stick add a bunch of butter and parmesan or spices of your choice. Its one of my favorite summer fair foods

I had the idea to open up a fry bar a while ago. Specialty fries with 20+ possible toppings and cheap beer. Put it downtown with a takeout window, I think it would be a hit

Cuban sandwiches. Make them with your neglected son and John Leguizamo on a cross country trip

Dude, do fucking burritos. That should be your main thing. Then if you have some room keep some hotdogs and cheesesteak shit.

portland already beat ya folks to it

Unless you go through some major hoops and have someone who can help you out big time in the city (or state depending who gives out the liquor license) its (nearly) impossible to sell liquor through a food truck

Fuck the ATF.

Just serve shit food covered in that fake yellow cheese and the Americans will come flocking in.

Ebin maymay!

It's nutritionally equivalent to non-engineered cheese, but it melts and tastes better.

I am digging this fry idea.
late night fry truck

OBSESSED

My autistic friends and I have always wanted to make a food truck selling edibles that played the tune from "Smoke Weed Every Day" on a constant loop. It sounds retarded I know, but you'd get fucking rich

> Food Truck Ideas
>Also, is there something I should definitely be serving?

Fuck you mang, I'm keeping my ideas to myself.
It's just a beyond basic taco truck, but it will be unique and my own.

Mobile asshole bleaching I'm not even joking I live in Santa monica

I don't see how the post displays obsession. Could be their first of that kind ever. I think you don't know what obsession is. And since the post is also true, you lose.

Anyone want to start Spud Bud's in the twin cities?

deep south cu/ck/ here

name it "Stairway to Heaven"

serve the following:
>deep fried oreos
>deep fried cookie dough
>bloomin onions
>cheesesteaks
>hot dogs
>polish sausages
>deep fried kool aid
>triple fried french fries
>funnel cakes
>kabobs

>name food truck the faggot feeder
>Go to a gay portion of the city
>profit

I honestly don't get how good trucks are profitable here. The season seems too short. I mean I get there are good downtown areas. Must be the brewpub craze and the fact they can park outside them.

I imagine it's mostly seasonal, with some special events during the off season.
I'm in College up in Fargo/moorhead and thats how the trucks there seem to do.
They've been spoted as late as mid December and as early as late March so there's enough business for them to justify being open.

Mega Dogs and Cakes

Food trucks in my city get around this to a degree by partnering with popular bars and parking right outside them. Get your drinks at the bar then walk ten feet and get your food at the truck.

James?

me? i'd mcchicken legs.

schnitzel. All sorts of shnitzel. Different meats. Different crumbs and seasonings. Different sauces, toppings, sandwich breads.

These guys are next level.

...

Are you retarded? So you "start a food truck" (fuck does that even mean?) and you have no idea what to serve?

The only reason why you should ever buy a truck in the first place is because you are super passionate about making some very specific dish.

You will be making the few dishes you serve hundreds of times a day, thousands of times a month..

>tastes better

the amount of delusion is astounding

you also think glued meat tastes better than a real steak?

In Los Angeles, the food truck craze is over. However, we still have food trucks serving every kinds of food imaginable and people don't care.

If you want to be successful, you have to figure out not what kind of food but the location. Location is key and as the others said, it's best served as a late night food option outside a bar.

However, those trucks struggle against the beloved street baconwrapped hotdogs.

Good luck because it sounds like you're not ready at all yet.

Implying people want to see a movie with subtitles because the sound has to be low.

>Good luck because it sounds like you're not ready at all yet.

That is some Midwestern style passive-aggression shade. I love it.

Here in NYC they're ubiquitous. The ones with the most staying power (aside from Halal) seem to be Waffels and Dinges in touristy areas, and curry ones outside Indian workplaces.

I was out late in Denver one time and came across a tiny little cart. The guy had a little pizza oven and some pies. Would cook to order. Wasn't gourmet, but in the right place it would kill with some drunk traffic

I like food trucks that serve 1 particular thing they happen to be good at.

>mayo on baked potato
Where in the world have you seen this?

enjoy going to syria to fight for islamists against russia

Tuna nuggets

moist

fondue truck

swiss, french, or gruyere, cheese
with choice of italian or french bread or hotdog

desert fondue of choco or vanilla liquid with marshmallow or stwawberry

>Also, is there something I should definitely be serving?

Coffee. If you serve hot coffee, people will buy some even if they're not hungry, and they nay buy something else just because they wanted some hot coffee.
