Even if you’re not in the mood for a vanilla cone, you can’t miss Doug Quint’s ice cream truck on the streets of New York City.
Quint owns and operates the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. And with that name emblazoned on the truck — along with a big, rainbow-colored soft-serve cone logo — Quint is bound to turn heads.
What exactly makes it the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck? Quint gets that question a lot.
“Every day, at least a couple of times,” Quint says. “And every time, I say, ‘I make it gay.’ “
So we’ve been talking about the crazy truck craze that’s been hitting the nation (we’re still contemplating and CAREFULLY planning… too many out there JUST to throw ourselves out there, unless you ALL think otherwise), and here’s another that we’ve heard about before. Plus I was thinking, what better way to start off your Monday and week than a BIG GAY ICE CREAM TRUCK… HOORAY! You guys go and have yourself a great week.
And if you were wondering… “I’m SUPER, thanks for asking!” Hit it BIG GAY AL!
Is it FINALLY… TACO TRUCK TIME??? We don’t know, but that seems to be the trend, and many here think we should finally do it. What do you guys think? Many think our food is better than Kogi’s and we could give them a run for their money. (btw Kogi fans, we give total props to them for popularizing this Asian taco craze… it’s a whole lotta fun)
We did set out to be aggressive when we first started, and that was barely over a month ago when we decided to just do it and three days later we were serving our “thit kho” tacos up that Sunday! It’s kind of scary, but I think we’re ready. We got 5-6 solid dishes, and our resident Kitchen Ninja (she hates being called “Chef” btw) has like almost another 10-20 ideas brewing in that creative culinary noodle of hers. Why should we stop her? You guys seem to like it, and we aim to please.
FYI - We gotta go raise some dough to do it though, but if any of you know someone that wants to back this (yeah, I actually am asking you) please let us know.
“All the things I could do if I had a little money…” (you betta know we love us some Abba… okay, okay- I LOVE ME SOME ABBA… WOO HOO)
Oh YEAH, you’re probably wondering what the pic is WAY above. It’s your next hint for Sunday’s service dish du jour! I was wondering if that looks a little strange in a picture, but I said “F it” ‘cause it tastes so damn good I might as well tempt you to figure it out or try it yourself (you’ll be more successful with the latter ^_^)
Weekday Service UPDATE
NO WED (June 24th) NITE SERVICE THIS UPCOMING WEEK. Next week we’re serving on Tuesday, June 23rd from 6p - 9p. Sorry, I’ll be honest that we have a screening to go at the Los Angeles Film Festival, but hey I also work in film. Gotta juggle the best of both worlds!
If it helps cushion the blow (YOWZA!), Tues night we’re serving our version of the kalbi short-ribbed tacos which was repeat from a couple of years go.
Sorry, not as much irreverent, non-sensical and sometimes non-sequitur humor this time around. More serious reflection on an exciting and yet scary road ahead of us. Life’s short and it’s about time for Kitchen Ninja Thi Tran to play HARD too!
So let me ask all of you again, and please feel free to comment:
Do you think Starry Kitchen is ready for taco truck land?
