The Food Boat - Coming to a Waterway Near You

Source: The Hour Newspaper
Ok, they are really only coming to your waterway if you live in Norwalk, CT.  I’m a huge fan of the recent food truck craze.  I have even had thoughts of putting a food truck on the water.  We all know those islands or boating hotspots where it would just make sense to have a food vendor around.  That’s exactly what deli owner Clyde Ripka has done in Norwalk, CT.  Being a boater himself, Clyde knew his local waterways well enough to move some of his deli business out to sea.  He’s become popular enough he even gets requests for service via his VHF radio.  I’m sure a little social media announcement never hurt either.  If you’re looking for some inspiration to start your own food boat check out this story and get our on your local waterways.

    Probably the best way to implement this idea. When I saw the headline I was thinking a "floating kitchen" which presents its own set of complications on a boat. Hauling around coolers filled with food to sell might provide the needed funds to own....

      No doubt, the last thing I would want in the middle of the intercoastal is a grease fire on a fiberglass boat.
