As kids, we couldn't wait for the Mr. Softee truck to cruise the neighborhood. I thought ice cream on wheels was the coolest concept. Sometime during my junior high years, I found out about "roach coaches" - whole meals could come out on trucks.
New York City is the place where they take the lunch wagon's fare to a whole new level. You don't have to accept chicken nuggets and greasy burgers. You can experience crazy gastronomic combinations like vanilla ice cream coated in crushed wasabi peas or burgers topped with caviar and foie gras and wrapped in $100 bills (FYI - you don't eat the $100 bills). Check out this video featuring some New York City lunch trucks -

One thing these meals from diners on wheels have in common is great big globs of cholesterol. I'd like to suggest that someone offer a low cholesterol menu. I could start them out with a recipe that my sister-in-law created.
Colette's Turkey and Salsa Plate
Spray a frying pan with Pam or other cooking spray.
Saute peppers and onions for a couple of minutes. You could also add mushrooms.
Add ground turkey with the least fat content available.
Fry until the meat is cooked through.
Add a generous glob of hot salsa.
Stir and serve.
This stuff is delicious.
If this recipe doesn't take you away from the burger joints, you're meshuga.
