Question I am wanting to put food warming and cooling equipment in the bed of my pickup to sell mobile (like a taco truck) I have a cover shell on it. I am looking for the warming and cooling equipment that will meet health department requiments. Where should I look.
Answer Before purchasing any equipment, I would check the requirements in your area to see if there are any unique regulations that apply to mobile vending as opposed to a restaurant atmosphere.
There are a number of food equipment suppliers you can find on the Internet. A few that I have dealt with are:
Central Restaurant Equipment
Zesco
Superior Products - Next Day Gourmet
National Restaurant Equipment
In addition to these, you may want to search Ebay and Craigs List for specific pieces you are looking for.
