If we ever get out of quarantine, some of us may be looking for ... interesting ways to make money. I'm blaming this thread entirely on Suspect Bucket, because they texted me an absolute horror of an idea, and I kept adding to it. It turned into a horror show, but I lowkey feel like some of those combinations sounded kind of good. Screen Shot of the conversation: https://imgur.com/a/pO9e52m Inchitaco = Indian Chinese Tacos It devolved from there. Please, share your horrible hipster douchey food fusion ideas. I'm half tempted to make this taco thing that Suspect Bucket proposed, because it could end up being good.

Fish cleaning station with a deep fryer, set up off of a public saltwater dock and offer U CATCH WE COOK. People drop off whole fish and pay $ per pound for deep fried fish, extra for tacos. Good weekend gig. Cupcake sized funnel cakes. A dollar a shot, 5 for 4 dollars. Has any sane sober person ever eaten a whole funnel cake? My Fiance gets kicked out of the country due to lovely current immigration restrictions, we get a place on the touristy backwaters of Kerala, I sell lovely toddy (local palm wine/beer) cocktails and hot dogs / beef burgers to white tourists. They trust me and pay top dollar because I'm white and not dead from eating this food, and because I put prices in USD and the tourists still arn't sure how the conversion rates work. CABBAGE MANCHURIAN IS AMAZING AND NOT A HORROR SHOW. In this post feedlot meat world we're facing, y'all gon eat a lot more vegetals.  Tell me you wouldn't pay 8 bucks for 3 of those topped with mayo and a side of rice. Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Apr 26, 2020 |

Soup Stand. You choose your broth, your proteins, your veggies, and your toppings. It'd be a franchise, so it's like those horrible FroYo places, but for soup. Dosa crepe stand. Where you get French crepe recipes (strawberry, nutella, cream, spinach, whatever), but the crepes are made of dosa batter instead. Hit the probiotic people AND the gluten free people all at the same time, charge $12 a crepe, and the ingredients cost a fraction of what real crepe batter costs. Naan pizza. Choose your naan (plain, garlic, scallion/garlic, spice, hot and spicy), your sauce (korma sauce, tomato sauce, some kind of white sauce), and your toppings, and then your cheese of choice. Korean BBQ samosas. So it's a samosa, but it gets stuffed with korean bbq stuff. And served with that same tamarind date sauce, the mint and cilantro sauce, and a side of kimchi because reasons. Mongolian Mexican fusion. It's mongolian grill, but with Mexican spices and ingredients. Italian stir-fry house. So instead of noodles, you'd use pasta of various shapes. And you'd use Italian ingredients with Chinese technique, and serve it with pasta. Asian Italian. IDK, figure out a bunch of "pan asian" recipes, and make them using Italian techniques.

"Baked potato dogs" It's a steakhouse meal on the go! Slap a thin sliced marinated steak cooked either on a charbroil or a flat top into a split baked potato, drown it in toppings. Have a good aioli and a good crema. Homemade Ranch Dressing. Maybe have one of the toppings/side options be Mac 'n Cheese because THE MIDWEST. Probably cole slaw too, maybe german potato salad for the double potato option, because THE MIDWEST. Honestly they'd be happy drowning any and all of it in lovely cheese and some ranch in lieu of any other seasoning and that's be fine, you'd sell a depressing amount of it.

...I'm not sure whether to be flattered or just wtf stunned that I got name-checked in that text. But Suspect Bucket has summoned me, and I answer the call. Real talk: I live in a pretty agrarian area in Virginia; like it's a fair-sized city (with its share of food trucks from bbq to gourmet grilled cheese to cupcakes) but you go 15 miles outside the city and it's farms. Right now it's the time the farmer's markets should be opening, but thanks to fact that our governor used to be a doctor and is not a complete idiot, ain't nothing opening until at least June (and probably later). What do? Make a fried rice/lo mein truck, because not a single Chinese take-out place is open or will open soon due to racist fucks who think that just looking at an Asian person will give you the 'roni. Hook up with local farmers who have nowhere to sell their stuff. Have a constantly rotating menu of fried rice/noodle options with whatever veggies are in season/surplus. Have my cheerful round-and-blue-eyed self serving it up, not one of those scary Asian/brown people. Same idea could be applied to a salad/soup truck, really. All the grocery stores/supermarkets are open, but their salad bars are shut down. Get stuff from local farmers struggling to find an outlet. Have a chalkboard on what's available, build your own salad with whatever's in stock that week. Appeals to both city hipsters who want farm-to-table/organic/locavore, and the rural hippie folk who come into town who miss going to the farmer's market every Saturday. Bonus if you can make Brunswick stew for the good ol' boys comin' into town for supplies. You park that truck outside a Lowe's or Home Depot or Wal-mart with a vat of Brunswick stew, and you'd clean up pretty good. ...am I doing this right? I can certainly think of some more insane fusion concepts if it wasn't 3:15 am, but if I had the capital to get a truck, that would be my cocktail napkin plan. edit: just remembered a goon asking how to add some zest to their grilled cheese sandwiches over in General Questions. In the spirit of the thread (I think), the suggestion of putting kimchi on grilled cheese fits. Personally, that sounds icky, but I could see douchey hipsters going for kimchi grilled cheese, especially since one of our most popular trucks is the fancy grilled cheese one.

I continue my small business of making hot sauce (which I can no longer sell at the farmers' market), and just sell, like, french fries or something simple. The allure is which sauces you get to dip them in and brag about with machismo. $2 extra for my sweet & hot, $4 extra for Nashville, $6 extra for the one made with Carolina Reapers I grew myself. Use my silk-screening skills to make stupid t-shirts for people who want to brag about it for another $15. I like the cut of your jib, friend.

I've actually seen one (not by this company, it was home-grown) in my city. But you don't have to hop on the bike yourself, you pay a person to do it. So, $5 if you DIY, $10 if you make Enrique do it for you.

Even my ugly rear end dumpster fire made entirely from food bank scraps. Just a whole truck of chickencheese fusion. 10% off if you mention stairs.

The Safe, Fun Taco I'd eat all of these ideas. I was playing with an idea stolen from japanese grocery carts/every fruit and veg stall ever. Get an efficient little truck, and set up one day weekly farmers markets in food deserts, in church parking lots and community areas. Sell fresh fruit and veg that you can't get from Dollar General. Steal the idea from Publix where they demo a recipe, give out samples, and sell all the ingredients bundled together. Take EBT Democratic Pirate posted:Bowl of Curry.

Take EBT Our farmer's markets and co-ops teamed up with an organization that does that EBT thing, even more so. If you're using your SNAP/EBT card to buy fresh produce, you get essentially buy-one-get-one-free. It's loving awesome and one of the many reasons I'm gutted that the markets are closed, especially the one in our food desert. It operated on Tuesday afternoon-evenings right by a school and right on the bus line, so people could get off work, pick up their kids, buy some fresh healthy produce and then hop the bus home. Everybody should check this out. https://leapforlocalfood.org/healthy-food-programs/snap-program/ So yeah, park that truck and get to work! BUT, that's not the point of this thread. We're trying to appeal to douchey hipsters. Well, with alcohol laws being massively relaxed here thanks to the virus (you can get beer or wine delivered or to go now), I've got an idea. Get an old ice cream truck, ride around my neighborhood playing an awful MIDI version of "Gin and Juice". Sell $8 wine Slurpees, $5 PBR granitas ($10 if you want an IPA/sour/lambic/whatever the trend is these days) for the hipsters, etc.

I feel like this sort of shady experience is also an important component of marketing to hipsters.

Bibimbap burrito. A bunch of veggies, a bit of rice, a fried egg, copious amounts of gochujang sauce (either put inside or served in a container on the side), wrapped up in a tortilla. Plus kimchi of course. Edit: and a churro on the side? That feels right. Eeyo fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Apr 27, 2020 |

Or get a real tank, but those are so expensive. I can't do it with an APC or deuce and a half, some rear end in a top hat would call me out on it. Yes, it is a Wonderella reference.

Considering what's available while the world ransacks its supermarkets, I'm again stealing ideas from the forums: a 70's themed truck, featuring abominations straight from the AFP thread. Aspic Bites, done all cutesey in muffin tins. Along that line, Bloody Mary Jell-O shots (if you can even find celery-flavored Jell-O anymore? gently caress it, we'll make our own ~artisanal~ Jell-O) Casserole Roulette: we're not even gonna tell you what's in it, you gotta buy one for $14 and try it for yourself. Everything is sourced locally from the Dollar General.

My food truck idea has always been the Bagel Witch: an occult themed sandwich truck selling all manner of tasty things in sandwich form with the trademark being all the bread is bagels. No cutesy dish names either because gently caress that poo poo.

I'd do a truck featuring mitraillette sandwiches made on a nice baguette with a bunch of fried fillings like cauliflower and potato pakoras served with a range of chutneys and curries. It could feature a Latin option of sweet or savory tostones with chimichurri, some challenge level hot sauces, black beans, and sweet stuff like dulce de leche and some kind of caramel flan sauce. I'll throw in typical kebab fillings and falafel as well. If the cart isn't vegetarian I'd go with duck fat fries and poutine stuff with a nice duck gravy. Good bread and fried stuff with sauce.

I misread this as “cassoulet roulette” and got vaguely excited for a moment. And then saw it was casserole.  That said. Cassoulet Roulette sounds like a solid concept to me. You have the main option which is a classic cassoulet. It’s made vegan, but there’s roasted meats on the side to make it more traditional if you want. But then there’s the Cassoulet of the Day (which is the Roulette past) where chef finds whatever bits and bobs they can at the store, and knocks up a ~fusion~ cassoulet. Which, to be honest, is basically daal but less expensive spices and more random ingredients. But see, now it’s fancy.
