BIG MONEY, BIG IDEAS, SMALL AMOUNT OF WORK! A ROACH COACH FOR GUERILLA
CAPITALISTS, 'FISH TACOS 5$ " is the sign, 6$ with salad. You park different places and inform your fans by TWITTER where you'll be today. That's 600$ a day. LAWYERS don't make that! (So send this idea to your newly jobless friends who live in beach side cities where they can catch their own fish every morning. )
Here's how the idea hit me. Today on FM RADIO I listened to " BEST CAFEs in L.A. and heard the news that TACO WAGONS and FISH TACO wagons are getting reviewed too as they invite PHONE INS... apparantly these TACO WAGONS are highly esteemed by Working class gourmets. Now way they're just ROACH COACHES with prepack sandwiches! They are super gourmet trendy and the best ones had NAMES like ...I don't remember, this caught me offguard, but they had elegant names. "TACOS DE PESCADO DE LUJO" And here they were being discussed right along with the POSH 25$ BISTRO CAFES that the radio gourmets were reviewing! The wagons in question could be found on Twitter each morning --so I guess that the TACO CHEF lets you know where he will be parked for lunch today. So they're not at the same corner, hmmmmmm. I guess they are guerilla businesses, meaning they swoop in, feed a crowd these 5$ fish tacos sell l00 lunches then swoop out before the FOOD COPS know what hit 'em. I had a Latino neighbor who had a street TACO and burrito stand out on the cub of a side street right off the main drag, a kind of small HOT TABLE, al fresco open air, and I saw him there for enough years that I knew he was highly popular. But finally the gov DID find him and close his operation down. Which was more like a LEMONADE stand than anything else but he must have made some serious moola in the meantime, in between time.
If the TACO WAGON chef also caught his own sea bass, grouper, rock cod, sculpin fish at dawn, he had no expenses except guacamole sauce, sour cream, corn tortillas, jalapenos, tomatoes, cilantro and OIL for frying. And if he caught his own fish he can make a lot of profit. Fresh fish! Maybe that's what they offer. I imagine there's a reason that they come so highly recommended ... i.e. fish caught that very morning has no rot at all, full ocean flavor. Probably addictive, maybe even costing 6$ a taco with small salad and salsa. Not only great fun to fish at dawn but higher profits for the owner than having to visit a wholesale fish market downtown where everything is ten days old and ten bucks a pound minimum!
So
Twitter 'taco truck' and 'taco wagon'...
I didn't find today's position mentioned. Maybe they take it down after
lunch on Xmas Eve. And hey it IS 3 pm now as I write this file. But the
whole concept is GUERILLA CAPITALISM at its best. BLACK MARKET BASS. PIRATE
PERCH! Gimme SOME OF THAT! And yeah, I'll pay the extra buck for some SALAD!
