"Street Certified Gourmet Food"


I have seen this truck driving by many times but I finally caught it stationary getting its propane tanks filled. The explosion of colours and the assortment of signs make it hard to miss and if you enlarge and look closely at the hood you will see a frying pan with lifter and a plate attached to it! I wonder what 'street certified' means?

  1. The word propane and explosion were very close together and I was worried for a second. lol Street Certified Gourmet Food is another worrisome. Just kidding. Nice shot. =)

    I like the messy design, it is very fun, especially the frying pan!

  4. You wouldn't forget about this ad, that's for sure. I'm guessing he made up that title "Street Certified" -- probably means his customers like it!

  5. What set-up he has! If you are not hungry, you can read his signs instead.

  6. What a wonderful post. I love this kind of thing. I suppose the truck goes around to construction sites, etc., to sell its wares. And it offers "Street Certified Gourmet Food" too!

    Well done RedPat!

  8. The truck isn't very attractive which means the food is probably excellent. 'Chunky fried potatoes'? Sounds dangerously yummy.

  9. Great looking van, wonder if it plays a catchy tune like ice cream vans do? Wouldn't be suprised, it has everything else!

  10. So, I take it chunky potato fries are his specialty?!! Can't say I ever thought of them as being 'gourmet', but maybe I should give these a try before I pass judgement.

  16. There's so much writing on that truck that it's a bit confusing!

  17. Well, this one certainly wouldn't be mistaken for one of those Toronto a la carte trucks!

  18. ha. oh dear!
    these trucks don't really serve many veggies beyond the potato wedges, though.
    I hope you don't eat there!

  19. This is funny Red, I don't think apart from the windscreen he's left any space uncovered on this vehicle. Bet he gets heaps of attention as he drives by.

  20. He has a very extensive menu, that's for sure!

    Regarding your yesterday comment: the pieces are old but it's a modern installation.

  26. I accept apparent this barter active by abounding times but I assuredly bent it anchored accepting its propane tanks filled
