Something like this would do well in the rebuilding areas of the fire zones. I assume way easier to get permits and licenses for and easier to park and drive around. Plus you can spend your days in Malibu and the Palisades. LOL

Spent way too much money on that roach coach when I was young and dumb. Made me fatter and broker.

Just so people are informed. Newsom passed a bill a couple years ago that basically made it impossible for law enforcement to enforce food vendors without licenses and permits. It diverted the issue to health and safety which 99% of the time is overwhelmingly understaffed making it nearly impossible to enforce. Then there’s laws about impounding items and materials and storage etc. this is why you don’t see cops enforcing illegal vendors anymore. The illegal pop up tent vendors have zero oversite. No quality control. Most of them come out of the Los Angeles area and bring raw meat up in a cooler with no ice then preps it on the street and lets it sit out after cooked. Fuckin gross. plenty of reports of Sal Manila outbreaks and illnesses. Not to mention it fucks the places that are doing things right.

Food trucks for the most part are licensed and permitted and have restrictions of where they can set up usually.

I get people out making a dollar is respectful but they’re skirting the system and safety procedures and ducking over others in the process. Also, rumor is it’s cartels and almost human trafficker status types that over see the pop up tent people. It’s all a shit show.

I met Sal in Malaysia. That was a tough trip home and he continued to bother me for about a month afterward.

I really liked him in the Sopranos...

San Bernardino just did a food cart raid just recently, I believe in Highland. County Sheriff, the health dept and someone else showed up in force (maybe ICE) and hauled everything and everyone off. It was epic.

That's awesome...c ya fuckers.....lol
I don't know the validity of this statement but somebody recently stated that all these street taco vendors popping up everywhere were owned and operated by the cartels. It kinda made sense as suddenly recently they have been showing up in cube vans with a lot more sophisticated equipment then in the recent past and beyond. Anyone else have any legit info in that regard? I've always wondered how they don't get robbed at the end of the night with all that cash on hand? Some local smaller coffee shops have stopped taking cash stating they've been robbed to much lately and it wasn't worth the risk and hassle.

I got it from turkey lunch meat. Holy hell, between that and Swine Flu I have never been so sick both those times, covid was a walk in the park compared to those.

While I don't condone people acting like assholes, every time I see someone identified as a "civil rights attorney," I immediately consider them as bottom feeding scum that only exist to stir up animosity and hate.

The cocksucker speechifying in defense of Austin Metcalf's murderer is a prime example.

The best is the ACLU. Whats American about fighting for the rights of non-Americans? That should be shut down right after the Dept of Education.

The ones in Ventura, the health and safety people come out, confiscate the appliances, cite everyone (they’re all illegal) dump the food and send them packing. I shit you not, back the next night same spot, same people. They’re all from LA. They give zero fucks because they’re not using real names and they have some big money backers giving them all new equipment and food. It’s like prostitution, “get back out there and make that money bitch!”

Worst thing I've ever had. Imagine catching it in Malaysia on the second day of a week long trip, having to see customers while dealing with the heat/humidity, then having to fly home at the end of that week while feeling no better than when it started.

And this was when SARS and Bird Flu were the big things at the time. I had a layover in Hong Kong. Thought I was going to be quarantined for sure.

I had food poisoning once. Got it eating Chinese in LAX international. Landed in Frankfurt, don’t remember the next two days except throwing up and dehydrated in a Heidelberg hotel room. Brutal.

 

[NicPaus]

The one I used to frequent got robbed at gun point few months ago. The owner started out with one last I heard he had 8. Was driving a new lifted dodge diesel. On Tuesday they sell around 6k tacos from what they told me. 40 people waiting in line on average.

One of my guys bought a van and all the equipment. His ex was running 1. She had 2 restaurants with her ex husband 1 on the pier next to Tony's. I asked how much she made. $3-500 a night. And it was a small operation. The van is parked in my driveway with all the stuff inside if someone wants to buy it .

In your neighborhood, I don't think one needs to buy it if they want it.

It's at my old house in the hood. Crazy Jimmy next door. He is trigger happy. Same guy that shot the pit bull in my driveway for attacking my dogs. He tells me every time I see him my truck would not of gone missing if it was parked in that driveway Lol.

Everyone needs a Crazy Jimmy in their life. LOL

Lol. Police Helicopters. House surrounded by the swat team. Gun shots regularly. I have posted about him before. He gets along great with my Guys and Me. Years ago it was a problem. But now it's like home security. My 2 German Shepherds got the yard covered. He covers the front. Has family In the PD so he gets out same day usually.

"Has family In the PD so he gets out same day usually." LOL
Being connected has its privileges.
Nice that you receive some benefits from it too. Every little bit helps.

I trimmed the tree. Hanging over the fence years ago. Got greeted by LAPD with guns drawn. And them demanding entry to my yard. They responded within minutes. I have called and got 8 hour response times. His Mom called She definitely has pull.

The other day there was an Asian (???wtf) sidewalk vendor set up on the backside of Grand Central Market in DTLA. He was literally inches away from the apparent property line for the marketplace. And he was blocking the sidewalk.

Me and my coworkers all thought the same thing...that dude is gonna get his ass beat by some pissed off vendors inside Grand Central. AND RIGHTFULLY SO.

Anybody who owns a biz can relate; yet I'm floored at the number of peeps on here who support/patronize them. F that.

 

[Mandelon]

Sal Manila? LOL

I thought about opening a chicken restaurant. I wanted to call it Sam and Ella's Super Fresh Chicken.

 

[oldman]

We have a local Mexican place that did a nice remodel and created an outdoor patio area, within that they had a countertop grill doing street tacos combined with a salsa bar stocked with all the condiments.

It lasted about 3 weeks and they closed it down, when I asked the manager what happened he explained the health dept shut it down, They could cook in the kitchen and bring prepped food out and serve it, but having a grill makes it subject to all the regulations of the kitchen.

Side note, The patio is still there.

But a block away with no permits, or any food safety precautions that a brick and mortar restaurant is bound to, a mom and two kids can serve up tacos with raw meat stored in an igloo cooler.

Sal Manila? LOL

He used to live in the Philippines.

 

[nuckingfuts]

Where I grew up in Pasadena there used to be a business that leased out small pickup sized trucks that had a shell like deal on the back, in quilted metal sheeting.

They has a hot side and a cold side and section with ice for drinks. They did jobsite stops. Not quite a food truck as the food was all premade. Cold sandwiches, eggs, burritos, chips. I can't find a pic of these online.

I wanna say it was John's Food Trucks, but i was just a kid. This would have been in the 70's.

We called those roach coaches.

 

[C-2]

When I swung a hammer on the jobsite it was Ramona's burritos, Funyun's and chocolate milk from the roach coach for breakfast everyday. That carried me over to my Coors Light lunch. Ha ha! Good times.
