I have been asked to provide a food truck for an event. I am getting a converted Ice Cream Truck from a friend and looking to modify it. Unfortunately no deep fryer which makes it harder. I have some ideas for unusual foodie type food and any Q must be made at home and bought in. I can have a microwave, there is plenty of refrigeration/freezing and looking to set up a weber or propane grill up to cook/reheat. There is a chance to set up an outdoor turkey fryer but still need to look at the zoning and what is needed safety wise.
One more thing this is a beer event so parings with beer and stuff that soaks it up are best
I am looking for mains/sides that are easy to make (read most work is done in prep at home), can be sold for a nominal amount and have a decent profit margin. These have to be small plates so no elaborate meals
I have seen a lot mac-n-cheese recipes but dont think the high end expensive cheese ones will do. Not sure if moinks and abts will work if they need to be reheated. Thinking about pulled pork sliders since once made on the kettle can stay in a crock pot till needed. I will def use marubozo's pickle recipe.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I have tried so many great recipes here and so many of you do catering and things like I am proposing.
