    These recent infographics have been killer! Michelle, if you had a food truck, what sort of delicious treats would you sell?

    • Michelle Schusterman says:

       Oh man. Something fusion, I think. There’s a killer truck in Seattle called Marination Mobile that does a sort of Korean/Hawaiian/Mexican thing – kimchi quesadillas, kalbi tacos, kalua pork sliders, etc. Or Dog Japon, which does hot dogs with toppings like nori and red ginger and cabbage.

      Candice had an idea once for sushi cupcakes. I’d give that a shot too.

      What would you sell??

      • EHA says:

        Ahh, I love the fusion idea! Though I’m a sucker for straight up Mexican food. There was an amazing truck parked behind Union Pool in Williamsburg when I was in Brooklyn last December, and that woman’s tamales stole my heart. I’d need a few..you know…lessons in tamale making. But I think that’s what I’d be hawking from my truck :)

    All the food trucks in Dusseldorf are clustered in with an open fruit/veggie market and never move.  I would follow a decent Indian food truck like an ice cream truck if we had one.
