He lost me at cheese.

The only acceptable cheese is melted mozzarella. Everything else is nasty.

Now that food courts, food festivals, street festivals are returning, I hope he does well. Not everyone wants to go to the bodega (for reasons described by another poster). They just want to eat. At least he's not sitting on his a, complaining & whining about how broke he is. At least, he's trying to make bank. I wish him all the best.

And not even being able to buy beer much of the time if it's a Yemeni deli

Your mileage may vary but I've found most Yemeni delis have no problem selling alcohol, cigarettes, or lotto tickets (all items that would be proscribed in Islam) but draw the line at pork. It seems very arbitrary and hypocritical to me.

I think they tend to sell beer when it's a high rent neighborhood or they otherwise need the money to stay in business. But I've been to a lot of them that have no alcohol.

He needs to be there Saturday Night when the the "the Secret Society" outdoor party (not co-vid friendly) down the street by the water will take place. he will definitely rake it in .

That's a lot of people in that food truck for what looks like very little business...

Yes, and so if I ever wanted to have one, I'd likely try making it at home.
