A lot of fine food truck folks have shared stories with us about engine problems, which seem to happen all the time in this business. Well, just a week or so into Frysmithing, our truck needed to be towed.
Turns out a bolt attaching the starter to the engine sheared off into the starter itself. Brook's dad, Ed, tried to pull out all the stops to get the car running. At one point, he disappeared for ten minutes and reappeared with a shopping cart that held a big-ass concrete block. His plan was to force the starter into place for a one-time start that might get us back to the commissary. Well, nothing worked, so away we towed.
The best part of the debacle was that we met some helpful folks. These two excellent guys, Helm and Noel, were kind enough to help us push the truck after it gave out. Then, they called us over some folks to get fries while we were stuck. They're much less blurry in real life.
