Knows what a fatty is.
Sitting here late into the evenings reading and dreaming I came to the conclusion that being 32 Im relatively young, cooked in a restaurant the first 5 years of my adult life, loved it and the people. So Im gonna give this roadside concession a shot.

anyways, enough babble...
Meeting with the our equivalent of the health dept. they have no record of a mobile smoked meat stand so off teh bat I have some minor issues...First being I will have to supply some product to a laboratory and have the bacteria/pathogens counted on my final product.
Wait, Im getting ahead of myslef...I'm all over the place....so bare with...
Im planning on a mr.tube steak inspired trailer albeit a farking bigger one...and the second major issue is I'm only allowed one product, which will be pulled pork...no chicken, beef, even cooked farkin onions...One cooked product. Pork.
My UDS was nixed as being unhygienic or sanitary (!) so I am in the process of a building a stainless UDS-inspired front loading vertical smoker. After the inspector OK’s the smoker I will start on the trailer. The axle will prolly be from a late model VW jetta. (Ive built dirtbike trailers from these axles and they are farking awesome) Open sides with a big arsed canopy than opens from the middle.
Three sinks, a bain marie, (tempered glass canopy so customers can see the product and not sneeze on it.) running the middle with the smoker close to the hitch.
Anyways, this is just a plea for help I dunno what the fark Im doing but Im doing it…I’ll take any advice, any tips, anything. I will be posting relevant info as it transpires but right now Im concentrating on keeping mr. health inspector happy, creating a relationship with him and getting my trailer built to his satisfaction.
Much obliged,
Dave

this struck a serious chord and while I make a very comfortable living at sheet metal, it's not my passion. My motivation for getting up in the am is food. Im spending pretty much everything I have financially and emotionally, If this doesn’t work I have a skilled trade to fall back on (and a sweet trailer for my own personal use!) but little else, I don’t have a safety net by any means. Im leaving some personal info out, but there’s a heafty price Im paying. Im def. not doing this to get rich financially.Everyday, you'll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your safety net. Sure, it's a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone.. in my case, business suits and real estate.. but sometimes you have to take risks. When the risks pay off, that's when you reap the biggest rewards.
