Breakfast Vending = Big Dollars

[@martyfoster7053]

It is funny that you say "people forget", when it comes to stopping and getting breakfast! LOL I NEVER forget food! I may forget to go to work, but I'm not going to forget my food! :)

[@ivansantiago534]

Hello Ben, I really appreciate your contents!! I’m from Puerto Rico and for decades vendors sells Burgers and Hot Dogs for Breakfast, haven’t see anybody doing it here in Florida. Probably I’ll be the first one and I’ll be documenting it all. Cuz there’s a story behind. Once again thanks for your great contents!!

[@BensCarts]

Awesome Ivan! Please do...keep me posted.

We haven't started anything yet until we move to Florida but im doing my "due diligence " before hand. We live in western nc right now

[@lauramahgoub7479]

I love this. Thank you for your videos. Cant get enough of you and your real world ways. Commissary and cooking at home...confuses me. I want to convert a pop up camper as a food concession. I want to do savoury pies and Charcuterie trays...still working it out. But I do appreciate you

Had to come back and watch again. I am hoping to get back into vending this year.

[@TheWhimsicalFamilyHomestead]

if you have a local farmers market you can also make at home and sell them as well. a fee may be i know ours in Sidney ohio is $10 or you can do a yearly pass.

Beyond Burgers and their Vegan sausage are selling out at whole foods, Safeway, king soopers. Whole foods now has a separate grill and eat bar for these vegan delights. Here in Northern Colorado. This IS my market!

[@PentaRaus]

Didn't those fake meats turn out to be worse for you than real meat?

[@YAHsWay]

@@PentaRaus the Beyond burgers are the best. Made from pea protein. The other brands are either soy, wheat gluten, or potato starch. Like everything else you have to read the label

[@ianscianablo8507]

Hey Big Ben. NY state will never let me "make" sausage gravy without a commissary. In other words, I don't think I'll get away with throwing raw sausage in the pot, cooking it, at home. It's tough in NY state. But I'm VERY intrigued with breakfast vending. Love the idea! Again, I work without a partner.

[@raechelgarza9846]

love your energy and u rock truelly

[@november403]

Which sausage do you use to mix in?

[@BensCarts]

Any breakfast sausage... .I love Tennessee Price patties.

Many vendors do it at home but he went to his commissary. Usually the HD doesn't allow you to do it at home but some do. :) wink wink

[@kl0an]

I was up along I-5 in Washington State a few months back on the way to Seattle and decided to find someplace to get a decent breakfast. Found a place called Country Cousins. My brother, wife, and I decided that sounded good. Went in and it was a lot like a Cracker Barrel restaurant only not quite as fancy. I decided I wanted some country fried steak for breakfast and the waitress asked me if I wanted that grilled or fried?!?! I was shocked. She said her favorite is grilled so I said I'd take that.. My goodness, when I ate my first bite of that steak, my tongue slapped my mouth because it was SOOO good.. Haven't been able to find any other restaurants that will grill one since then so, I know where I'll be stopping to eat on the way to and from Seattle from now on..

[@BensCarts]

Never had that before. I love the breaded CFS. My wife makes me that every year on my birthday.

Any videos on making fresh breakfast/biscuit sandwiches for a simple hot dog cart? Is it possible for a single sole owner? Need videos on recipes! Thanks Big Ben!!!!

[@BensCarts]

Most would be made at commissary and kept warm on cart.

[@ianscianablo8507]

@@BensCarts Any examples? Would love pancake sausage on a stick but how will they hold up? Pancake bites? French toast stix? Need recipes & WAYS of making sure they still look good on the cart.

[@ianscianablo8507]

Big Ben-this is xcellent! BUT how do I work out price? I would have to buy these items 9pre wrapped break sands) from a local diner. I'm in a small town what if the local diner LOVES this idea and does this on their own? My town has zero breakfast vendors on the street. Any ideas?

What about teaming up with them under their license?

McDonald’s never has used frozen eggs. Scrambled eggs are cooked on a griddle and round eggs are cracked fresh. 🥚 🍳

[@hrwildem4993]

Thats not true. Taken from the Mickey D's website... "Our folded eggs, like the ones on a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit, are made with liquid eggs that are pre-cooked and folded before being flash frozen by our suppliers. Once in our kitchens, they're prepared on the grill with real butter."

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

Approximately how many biscuits and gravy did you get from one can?

[@BensCarts]

Some vendors use a 2 oz ladle, but I gave about 3 to 4 oz per biscuit. (probably over kill) I like my biscuits smothered. 2 oz is probably plenty, but I'm always impressed when a restaurant gives more than is needed. Using a standard biscuit of 2" diameter, I served a single or double (2 biscuits). But if all were single biscuit servings - that would be about 50 servings per can. I never got that many. (because I gave more) I was somewhere around 30 single servings per can.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

Thanks Ben. I am like you in that respect and I will do well to get 30 servings when I do start doing this.

[@ianscianablo8507]

@@BensCarts So it's a 2 oz ladle per each biscuit? Right? Each meal is really 2 biscuits?
