The Chicken Bus

Just a mile or so from where we are living, a portable chicken cooker started showing up in the parking lot of a local strip mall in April.   The bus is called the CHICKEN Bus, because the man cooks chicken halves and sells them to anyone stopping by.

The story gets better.   This man was hurt on the job four years ago and couldn't work.  He said six months without a pay check and five kids to feed so he had to come up with something.  He came up with the idea of buying an old school bus and retrofitting it to cook chickens.

He took the old bus, cut the back section out and installed a cooker.  The front part is still enclosed and contains the refrigeration for the food.  His ten year old son helps him and together the two sell one thousand pounds of chicken each week from the bus.  For $8 you get a half of pit cooked chicken, coleslaw, and a slab of sour dough bread.  I can tell you this, it is goooood!!
