All the restaurant-related startups and announcements lately are an almost-daily reminder for me that when you have a good idea, jump on it.
Ah well. I didn't have the contacts to pull it off, and it was only half an idea. :)
- hugh3 15y agoIf you ask me, screw the grilled cheese restaurant. A grilled cheese van would be a licence to print money, second only to a cupcake van.
- wccrawford 15y agoI meant the other, customer-centric ideas expressed, but it's true. In fact, Orlando FL has quite a few food vans that occasionally all park in the same area for a mini food fair and attract a lot of people. They've become quite popular in the last year or 2. (I'm sure it happens other places, but Orlando is what I know.)
- khafra 15y agoTampa only has stationary taco busses, except the food truck on MacDill AFB, but Seattle has had the mobile variety for years.
- cpeterso 15y agoWill Y Combinator invest in my grilled cheese van? :)
- hugh3 15y agoDepends. Do you have a cofounder? Are you aged between 20 and 25? Are you a technical founder who actually understands how to make a grilled cheese on your own, or are you just expecting to hire a grilled cheese expert? edit: Actually I think the ideal would be two technical founders with complementary skills. One knows how to make a grilled cheese, and the other one knows how to drive.
- patrickgzill 15y agoIs that the one down by the river?
- awj 15y agoMake it seasonal. Grilled cheese and tomato soup van in the fall/winter. Cupcake and Icee van in the spring/summer.

- hugh3 15y agoCan't they drive up here?
