All the restaurant-related startups and announcements lately are an almost-daily reminder for me that when you have a good idea, jump on it.

Ah well. I didn't have the contacts to pull it off, and it was only half an idea. :)

If you ask me, screw the grilled cheese restaurant. A grilled cheese van would be a licence to print money, second only to a cupcake van.

I meant the other, customer-centric ideas expressed, but it's true.

In fact, Orlando FL has quite a few food vans that occasionally all park in the same area for a mini food fair and attract a lot of people. They've become quite popular in the last year or 2. (I'm sure it happens other places, but Orlando is what I know.)

Tampa only has stationary taco busses, except the food truck on MacDill AFB, but Seattle has had the mobile variety for years.

Make it seasonal.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup van in the fall/winter.

Cupcake and Icee van in the spring/summer.

Move to Los Angeles, we got one.

Can't they drive up here?

Will Y Combinator invest in my grilled cheese van? :)

Depends. Do you have a cofounder? Are you aged between 20 and 25? Are you a technical founder who actually understands how to make a grilled cheese on your own, or are you just expecting to hire a grilled cheese expert?

edit: Actually I think the ideal would be two technical founders with complementary skills. One knows how to make a grilled cheese, and the other one knows how to drive.

Is that the one down by the river?
