so we thought it would be funny to think about Bens BBQ being on the food truck race.  keep in mind that we are the elusive food truck.  we are not on the road that often, we both have full time jobs (my wife being on maternity), we just had a baby, etc.  you really have to search us out to get our food, but here goes>>>

the first stop is in Phoenix.  we have to make sure we pack up the dogs and the baby.  with the baby comes the stroller, diaper bag, and a sleeper.  phoenix is about 8 hours away so we will have to stop off at least once to feed the baby and take doggie bathroom breaks.  if the baby is not feeling up for it, we may have to get a motel room.  our room of choice is La Quinta with the dogs.  in addition, they have a great free breakfast which we would have to partake in the waffles.

so we roll into phoenix at least 12 hours later than our counterparts.  they have already completed the challenge and are onto the next location, but we decide to try our luck anyway.  we get our food and start to smoke.  keep in mind that most of our foods take up to 14 hours to make.  once we are done smoking, it is 4 am.  we are not in vegas anymore and there is no one out to buy anything.  we sell nothing.  crap, onto the next town.

we head off to TX.  this should be great.  we are a BBQ truck and we are headed to one of the top five BBQ towns in America.  we should do great in TX, even though we are about 3 days behind everyone else.  we get presented with the challenge and it has something to do with tofu.  how the hell are we supposed to smoke tofu?  we decide to leave town without selling one piece of BBQ.  crap onto the next town.

now tyler florence is starting to get pissed.  he no longer wants the camera and crew to shoot us and he wants us to take our own video.  probably a good thing since Chia just bit the cameraman for shoving the camera in her face one to many times.  Mississippi here we come…

i like Mississippi.  i have a few friends there still from my casino days.  it will be great to catch up with them. on our way in we get pulled over by the police.  he comes up to the car with gun pulled.  oh shit i forgot about that ticket that i did not pay for in 1993.  they take me out of the truck in handcuffs.  my wife is more pissed that i am leaving her with both dogs and the baby to take care of.  i spend the night in jail, until i can post bail.  we are falling so far behind in the food truck race.  i do not know how we will be able to catch up.

how many days behind are we now and we still have not sold one damn thing.  this food truck race is not going as planned.  on to south carolina…..

you get the point….i do not think we would do so well in a food truck race.  for now we will just stay in vegas and go out once or twice a week and be the elusive food truck.

yours in smoke…..
