Sorry to break it to you - but this is vermont.

> I think it would be in the realm of possibility for ONE person to have ONE truck where they made a decent taco… hell, you really only have to have about 10 ingredients in the thing.

could be a game changer, but I don't think the business model works in vermont unless there are a lot of events happening where the truck could be profitable. I'm surprised Beansies does so well.

> We’ll, then you’d have to have some gringo tacos with Vermonty shit on them, like some sort of maple one and a vegan one, but still.

I don't know about that. That kinda sounds awful. Then again, I'm just a native vermonter and an omnivore.

I know where I’m at dude. But here I sit on a conversation about how bad the tacos are here, so seems there may be a market?

My wife is a health inspector and spends a great deal of time inspecting…food trucks around the state. I’ve personally been to Vermont taco trucks, they sucked but they are around, just not any good ones.

I would think a good business model would be to have a couple options to feed others, but then again I’m a flatlander married to a vegetarian who would love to eat at the same place as my wife. Loads of Mexican dishes are easily made vegetarian by using vegetarian beans. Pretty sure they have vegetarians in Mexico as well…
