Z’Roach Coach …

I’m sure you all know about the Roach Coach. It’s that little food bus that drives around and usually parks in some strange place, opens its side up and offers all sorts of greasy food. We used to have one that would stop on campus at the college I attended. It parked in the quad area, and just waited for hungry students to rip off during those long night classes. It was always packed. Mornings I’d usually stop by and grab a bagel with cream cheese on the way to class, and for the late nights, I’d usually grab one of those little greasy pizzas, or burritos. It was an easy fix to getting dinner, when I might not have otherwise, and I wasnt really expecting to get a fresh garden salad from the roach coach anyway.


I haven’t eaten at one of those since my college days mainly because there’s just something strange about a food court on wheels. The food sits inside that little bus and then they cook it in there, and then it sits in the window all day until its time to sell the stuff off. That can’t be good.

What made me think of this was that today I had to make a stop at the landfill and as I’m driving into this nasty ass smelling pocket of land, I’m passed up by a roach coach setting up shop right in the middle of the landfill. Ugh. I’m sure it wasn’t for us customers, because the last place I’m going to eat lunch is high atop a mountain of garbage. In fact, lunch was the last thing on my mind at that point.. I couldnt even get my windows rolled up fast enough to keep the smell from permeating my truck. The truck was set up for the workers. Now, I have no problem with them eating or anything, I mean, everyone deserves to eat but at the very least they should set up a nice spot for those guys that doesnt smell and look like shit – literally. Maybe a nice little tree and a patch of grass way off in a corner of the landfill so the roach coach can park there and they can eat. Of course, these guys dont look like they’d give two shits about a patch of grass. Most of them look like they have seen a bar of soap in a few decades, so whatever.

Anyone have a favorite roach coach meal or story …
