Yeah, that was the price range of the trucks and equipment I was seeing. I'm just surprised there are any food trucks operating anywhere at all in this country.

IASIP is more like Seinfeld on meth.

Less than 1500USD, you can get a food stall and materials to start a food cart.

I bought a used school bus a few years ago, and as part of the search process I started running into food trucks for sale (here in the US). Oh my fucking god are those things expensive, even when they're already well-used. It's no wonder food truck food is so absurdly expensive, and it must still take them forever to pay off their initial costs. Additionally, a lot of places here won't even let you operate a food truck at all unless it's associated with a brick-and-mortar restaurant.

Popeyes spicy is the goat for fast food.

This is local to the Philly/NYC area, but Asad's Hot Chicken is really fucking good. I expect them to expand considerably in the next few years ... and then turn to complete shit a few years after that.

I would pay the kind of money that people pay to go to Disney to not have to go to Disney.

I laughed my ass off when Popeye's adopted their "Louisiana Fast" slogan. I used to live in Louisiana and there is absolutely no such fucking thing. Their fried chicken is decent, though.

A weird thing I've noticed about Freddy's is that whenever a new store opens (they've done a lot of expansion recently in my area) the staff is all white teenagers, mostly girls. And then within a few months it's entirely staffed by black people. I wonder if they have a roving crew of white people to open new stores with and get the mostly-white locals accustomed to eating there.

And it's a triangle now. I seem to remember that it used to be a real piece of chicken, but not any more.

$10

Lol I got lunch at Five Guys for myself and my mother the day before yesterday. Two burgers, one order of fries, and two fountain drinks, for $44. For bonus points, I couldn't figure out how to use the fucking drink dispenser -- I apparently aged 40 years in two minutes. For even more bonus points, the bottom of the bag ripped open because of all the grease from the fries.

"Nuclear waste disposal is not a significant problem." Glad you said that, Mr. CEO.

Plants don't need grounded receptacles, apparently. I'll bet that one doesn't even have the polarity wired up correctly.

I worked at a summer camp once and as I was processing a busload of 7-year-olds one of the kids got off, came right up to me and said "if you give me any trouble, I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down your throat." I teared up.
