New Cities/New Soviets

It works

Tonight I SOLD OUT of food.
Total take: $58.50

New theory: July 5th was a lousy day to sell food.

I prepped light (only 12 orders of BBQ), but even so...

It works. I was ready for another fuckeroo of a fight. I was ready for a struggle as hard as the struggle with the city. I did not know the future; I was conserving energy. The prep today dragged. But now...


Mao contemplates the new dawn

But now it works. I sold food. I cooked. I cook. I am a cook again. Finally. I have been a businessman, and I was ready to be a marketer, but now I get to be a cook.

People liked my food. People came back for more. I sold out. I could not possibly be any happier.

Great news. You are trying something that no one has really done before and while I expected it to work, it is great to see it actually happening. Looks like with a full order you could take a few hundred dollars per shift.

Please keep posting where you will be so that people can go and write about what your days are like. I love the idea of a blogging food cart chef! Will alert some of my journo friends to this!
