We all have our late-night fantasies of a different life…
my post-art plan is opening a grilled cheese cart. it will serve $1 grilled cheese made with white bread, bulk cheese, bulk butter, and thats it. greasy as hell. no options, no artisan, nothing. there will be no change. you give me $5 youre getting 5, you figure your own life out

its 1am, youre stumbling out of the bar or show. what do you want? do you want to wait outside some asinine truck for a $12 deconstructed grilled cheese with avacado relish that takes 20 goddamned minutes? or do you want 5 no bullshit grilled cheeses stacked in wax paper for $5?

I'd like to buy a franchise. I don't want to sell grilled cheese to drunken assholes outside of bars, I'm just going to park this thing in my driveway and live in it.

Wasn’t that sort of the business model that made hamburgers a staple during the Depression, just parked near bundle camps and skid row, not trendy drunktown?

A friend and I were gonna do something similar during the government cheese giveaway days of the mid-Eighties until we saw how much work it would be and said fuck it.

My mom was the director of food service for the local school district in the 70s and was always complaining about the government cheese. After Carter was elected it switched to peanut butter, which was easier to make something that kids would eat. Nowadays with all the allergies kids have it must be a nightmare.

Jim Wright wants to live in one of these trailers.
OK I bet he doesn’t, he wants the concept of it. Not the crappy, greasy sandwiches, the idea that we are being sold, every day, crap that’s being called something far different.
A different take on the whole concept would be a post he has up at his place, Quick and Easy.
He’s talking about a completely different kettle of crappy, but the concept is the same, being sold crap that’s labeled as something far different.

Jeez, now I’m hungry.

Fucking hell. It’s even funnier reading through the dude’s Twitter thread. And now I’m not sure this is a serious thing or not.

@mrmoshpotato: That thread was hilarious! I think this may be my favorite:

When did Cole start ads for Web MD?
Me: I looked at the sun and sneezed.
Web MD: IT’S CANCER!

My daughter and I often talk about getting a food truck. Not in a serious way — just as something amusing to think about. We used to watch that dumb food truck competition show on Food Network, which is what started it. Someone posted a picture of the grilled cheese wagon in an open thread earlier this week, and I had to send that to the kiddo.

This is the most Cole food concept ever. “Don’t ask me for a god damned tomato slice or I swear to God I will reach through the window, pull you inside and hold your head against the griddle which will be embarrassing for you.”
tobie
mr. tobie always eats grilled cheese with ketchup. I guess there are similarities between grilled cheese and fries but the choice has always struck me as odd. We agree to disagree on this matter. Morning to all you early risers.

Looks like the perfect side hustle fo Cole.

You should know that I was computer shopping at Pest Buy yesterday afternoon & decided B.J. would be a good site to look at, but Best Buy blocks you jackals literally because of “message board/forum”.

I saw this food truck the other day and thought “that has Cole written all over it!”

When did Cole change his name to “Daniel Danger”?

I confess, I was spoiled by my college snack bar, subsidized by food services, that would sell you a grilled cheese for under a buck (in the 80s). There are days I yearn for that. I’m not sure that shack would be worth it, though – hot, cramped, busy work, and if you *are* chasing the bar crowd, dealing with drunks.
Maybe $2 per, and $5 for 3? (I’m pondering proper pay for work performed, with someone, who isn’t here, over a hypothetical problem, that I just created in my head, for a business that doesn’t exist. The internet does lead to strange behaviors.)
