So tell me, I am crazy or not?

have you ever had one of those days were all you want is something super simple? something to bring you back to the good old days?

Like a baloney & cheese with potato chips instead of lettuce on (not good for you) White bread?

i’m thinking of some new menu items for this fall. This is just one of them what are some other nostalgic foods you remember grandma making for you?

This one happened to be our smoked ham, American cheese, lays potato chips on white bread. I told you just having one of those days.

You all are the best
Dave

Shortcuts

Experience, Strength & Hope

First, we are a Catering Company with a Cool Food Truck. Offering a wide variety of food choices. Specializing in Smoked Meats, Southern Barbecue and Comfort Sides. Second, Private and Corporate parties & events Third, we do retail Food Truck Service like you see on TV. We are the only authentic wood only smoked BBQ truck in the Western Suburbs of Chicago. We are SLOW FOOD - doing things the old fashion way - by slowing it all down - because “flavor doesn’t happen in a hurry”!

In the spring of 2011, I was in the midst of a personal and family dilemma. I went away for a bit, got some great advice, plus a lot of counseling. The message was simple: Dave, you need to “Change Everything”. And that’s just what I decided to do.

With the help and support of my family, Larry Hopper (Hoppers BBQ), Geno Hernandez (Batavia Diner), and so many dear friends - I pulled the Truck & Trailer out of storage. Started experimenting with lots of recipes, smoking techniques, wood combinations and a Customer first business model based on the “Customers Budget not Mine”

We launched full time in March of 2012, with the motto “All about Attraction - Not Promotion”. Focusing on Offering great service - A limited customer driven menu - Fresh - On Time - Cleanliness - and Passion.

I was told when all else fails, to “Be of Service”, and the rest will take care of itself. We have been attempting to do that, one day at a time, everyday since. It is working, so I will not argue with the reviews, customers, and new friends we have made. Thank you all.

The Rig you see was built in 1999. The “Big Red Wagon” has been in and around the Tri Cities since the spring of 2000. So, I like to think of us as the “Original”. We were a local Food Truck before it was Cool!

Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your lives. We are grateful.

Dave

Nothing I do in life is more important than being of service to those that are caught up in the grip of Alcoholism. If there is someone in your life that is struggling with addiction please don't hesitate to call me. If I can't help I can refer you to folks who can.

It is so important to realize, that you, the family member are in the midst of it too. “The Family, Now, During, & After" are in need support & recovery also. My passion is for you! sometimes more than the addict or alcoholic.

If I can be of service, a sounding board, voice of reason then please do reach out. We can’t do this on our own.
