In Philadelphia, there’s a pizza called Lorenzo’s on South street.

They serve a cheese slice. You can get a whole pie with toppings. But if you want a slice, it’s cheese.

Want a topping? Nope. They’re pretty friendly and just tell you to go to the back until you’re ready for a cheese slice, which I always found funny.

I’m middle aged and vape. A lot of us old-heads switched from cigarettes a long time ago.

It’s definitely poking fun at the fact that people who vape are younger on average than those who smoke cigs, not supposing literally only teens vape.

Sort of like how lots of old people also use venmo, but it’s particularly popular among the young.

Id love to see food trucks that were dirt cheap and just did 1 food. Please park this grilled cheese truck outside my house

I went to a food truck festival a few weeks ago, and holy shit the prices of stuff. I don’t think there was a single item you could get for less than $18, and that was like the price of three french fries.

Yeah that’s how it is here. Food trucks are only at events and event food costs a fortune for some reason. You’d think that having 1000s of hungry people in one place would allow the to drop the price a bit but nah gotta squeeze us for everything.

TBF food trucks are insanely expensive (like, $80K+ expensive) so I don’t really blame owners for charging whatever people will pay. I’m just amazed people pay that much.

Yeah classic food truck venue here is an event at a brewery where they’re legally required to serve food. So you buy tickets and then provide to the vendors, but if you work out the prices it ends up being insane with super small quantities. They always have to make the food weird too, sometimes it’s cool but sometimes you just want normal shitfood.

I wanna do one where it’s like simple lowbrow stoner food done just a little fancy. Like grilled PB&J, but the peanut butter is the good stuff and the jam has the full berries in it, sourdough bread that can really take a heavy fry in some salted butter. The kind of stuff that’s dirt simple to make but really shines with a bit of extra love.

for some reason.

Because useful idiots are proud to pay for it then complain they don’t have enough money.

In Colorado, that has been my experience for over a decade. Food truck food was never cheap here. In Portland, just this year, I managed a few great and cheap meals from their food carts.

Trucks that do 1 or 2 foods are not that uncommon. We have a fish and chip truck and a glazed donut truck. But none are cheap.

This is the real kicker. Businesses charge what people are willing to pay, not what stuff costs to produce.

In my city: there was two stoners who ran around making three types of ramen - vegan, non-vegan (their broth is a different), and regular (they crack an egg).

It was like $6-7.

I loved those guys and used to follow them around.

no pepper. no hot sauce. no dippin that in a fryer. no fresh tomato slices. the only point of this being an entire food truck is to cover it in angry words.

None of those things you mentioned are ingredients in grilled cheese. The purpose of the food truck is to make grilled cheese.
