... Our charcoal-grill gives our burgers and dogs a flavor that transports you to a backyard BBQ on a warm summer day, even if you’re just on your lunch break.and this Wall Street Journal video.
Our classic menu items are made fresh on the spot with quality, locally-made ingredients including grass-fed, NY-state beef from Dickson’s Farmstand Meats, organic all-beef hot dogs from Brooklyn Bangers, artisanal pickles from Rick’s Picks and regional cheddar.
In addition to delicious burgers and hand-cut fries, Snap’s menu features a classic Chicago-style hot dog. Order it with “the works” for an entire meal on a bun. Not in the mood for meat? Try the panko crusted avocado fries with our house-made chipotle mayo. Snap also offers seasonal specialty menu items, so keep an eye on our Twitter feed and blog for new additions.
The Truck
The Snap truck’s engine runs on bio-diesel made from recycled cooking oil. This innovation means the organic peanut oil in Snap’s deep fryers gets filtered into the truck’s gas tank after it’s done making Belgian fries and avocado fries. The truck is literally fueled by fries. This cuts down on the amount of fossil fuels we use and gives our cooking oil a second life.
Sustainability
From our engine to our ingredients to our compostable paper products, Snap is committed to making business decisions that are sustainable — for our community and for the environment...
Snap Truck will be here on Friday too.
Here's the Snap Truck Menu

The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Real Estate Committee (web cast of entire meeting is here) discussed the issue of mobile food vending during their October 5 meeting. During the discussion, it was decided to eliminate the $345 monthly fee and charge vendors $30 per day on a monthly basis for one the three spaces by the subway. As it was explained during the meeting, a food truck vendor could decide it wanted to be here on Mondays and Wednesdays for the month. They would then pay $240 per month (8 days times $30) for one spot and the same applies to any other day of the week.
Here's the discussion.

In essence it actually became a lot more expensive but it is a lot more flexible now (pay per day instead per month). This is a great idea for trucks to let them try out RI but it is way too much to make them permanent here. It all comes down to the same old question: why does the RIOC think it has to ask for a permit fee?
Don't you mean, "why does RIOC think it has the right to ask for a permit fee?"
