re: Anyone here attempt to start up a food truck business?
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 4/17/25 at 8:25 pm
Nice man, I can imagine the inside, hopefully lots of diamondplate and flat steel walls.
Have you wrapped the outside or you keep it white for multiple brands/purposes?
We had a 24' rig similar design from a builder in Miami. I drove there to pick it up, they were working on a hot pink lowrider ice cream truck with neon lighting, Daytons, flat screen TV at the window, and audio with a subwoofer :bow:

We were at an event once where a guy sold hand held Frito pies - gas station bag of Fritos with pulled pork, BBQ sauce, and a plastic fork stuck in it for $5. He murdered it, we had an alright day after he ran out of food :lol:
Otis has a point though, I might chop off a limb and apply for disability before heading down this road again.

Gotta be careful with this. Get popped by the health department with no license, commissary, insurance, LLC etc. Some crazy person decides you gave them food poisoning, or worse, someone actually dies and they can trace it back to you. This is rare but does happen.
Great idea for a popup but I'd want more bumpers in place before serving the public.

I was owner/operator of Three Bones food truck from 2009-2015. There was a flood of them for a few years there but it started petering out around 2012. We shifted into brick and mortar with more catering focus, but ultimately the service industry was too much of a grind and I sold it off.
If this will be your primary source of income be prepared to work every weekend/holiday and never take a day of vacation for several years.What city are you looking at?

If you only do two butts I'd add another side.
re: Induction stove top
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 3/5/25 at 8:41 am
We went induction several years ago and are very happy with it. You need compatible cookware, which does include cast iron and carbon steel. Our cooktop has power boost that will bring a pot of water to boil in about 3-4 minutes.
If you're not sure you can pick up a plug in induction single burner for less than $100 on Amazon.

re: Amazon shipping without Prime
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 2/21/25 at 4:08 pm
I don't have Walmart+ but needed the cheapest microwave I could find to bring on a trip then leave behind. WM was $15 cheaper than the lowest price on Amazon and it arrived in about 16 hours. I do have Amazon Prime. Maybe a change is needed.
re: Where the NFL Recommends Fans Eat in New Orleans

Peche, must have when visiting New Orleans. Maybe I'm trashy but I love Deanie's and also Johnny's, both in the Quarter.
re: Thoughts and opinions on Jason’s Deli
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 1/30/25 at 6:13 pm
I haven't eaten there in years, but I remember the muffuletta was solid. I used to work there on the oven station and would build and toast the muffs and bake all the potatoes. Also the Cowboy, its a good sandwich if you go into it understanding its not real BBQ.

If they are intermingled with other dishes or possibly covered with suds or underwater this is a very good way to slice your hand open.
re: Burbank Walmart…my goodness.
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 1/24/25 at 7:52 pm
A few years ago I had the pleasure of watching an altercation at the bus stop in front of Cortana Walmart. After some very loud discussion the lady came after the guy with a legit ham-fisted windmill, scoring a couple of strikes, only to have him pull a gun and pistol whip her until she was flat out on the pavement. Holy moly...my last time shopping there.
Was he in the wrong? He was a skinny little twig. She was really trying to f*** him up, and clearly had the mass and adrenaline to achieve it. Probably could've been handled in a more gentlemanly way though.

I've owned Henkel's and they are fine. Many kitchens use community Dexter's and treat them like shite but they hold up well and are cheap to replace.
I have an inexpensive rotary sharpener and pass my knives through it a couple times each year. I'm not looking to shave my face but just don't want to slip and cut my finger. Don't put them in the dishwasher or lay them down in the sink, this is a sin.

re: Braising meat with wine
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 1/8/25 at 12:19 pm
Anytime I braise beef I use a passable red wine, really is a part of the backbone of the dish.

Marinades or pickled crunchy veggies. The herbs will knock a roasted chicken out of the park.
re: Commercial 4 Inch (deep) food service pans over direct heat/flame?
Posted by ThreeBonesCater on 12/17/24 at 7:47 am
These are fine in the oven for doing something like a braise or lasagna, but they don't distribute heat well and will scorch if put over a flame.
