He was watching Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory. They were doing a food truck bit and had created a truck called "Big Black's Dump Truck". When they parked and opened for business, you saw the "Midtown Lunch" sticker right at the window. This must have been another truck that they rented and skinned for the day.</p> <p>I just took some screenshots from the episode and uploaded them here:</p> <p><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/134334/BBDT?authkey=Gv1sRgCO7AmsDEyu7HKQ" rel="nofollow">https://picasaweb.google.com/134334/BBDT?authkey=Gv1sRgCO7AmsDEyu7HKQ</a></p> <p>You can watch the whole episode and maybe get some HD or at least better screenshots here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-factory-season-5-ep-11-big-blacks-dump-truck/1683651/playlist.jhtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.mtv.com/videos/rob-dyrdeks-fantasy-factory-season-5-ep-11-big-blacks-dump-truck/1683651/playlist.jhtml</a></p> <p>Way to go Zach with all of the well placed publicity stickers! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/over-100-san-francisco-restaurant-reviews-to-the-worlds%e2%80%99-most-talked-about-dining-establishments#post-23669 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:29:21 -0500 Cavellier 23669@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>There’s many travel guides out there, however I find that TravelWithCarnet.com stands out as the best directory for best restaurants and restaurant reviews in San Francisco. It contains everything (and more) you need to know before you go. You can print your list of favorites or send it to your smart phone. And, you can make your reservations right there while on the site.</p> <p>Their restaurant list includes over 100 free reviews to the worlds’ most talked about dining establishments. From the 3 star Michelin restaurants to the small intimate dining treasures. And, the anonymous reviewers dine at each establishment several times before recommending it on the final list which proves the chef is consistent – not hit and miss.</p> <p>I feel like I now have a reliable source I can trust and I love that! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/breast-milk-ice-cream-comes-to-london#post-20668 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 16:05:15 -0500 vdubjb 20668@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12569011" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12569011</a> </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/grilled-cheese#post-21659 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 15:11:30 -0500 Dan L 21659@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://gawker.com/5807591/grilled-cheese-sandwich-gets-10-million-in-venture-funding" rel="nofollow">http://gawker.com/5807591/grilled-cheese-sandwich-gets-10-million-in-venture-funding</a> </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/bacon-milkshakes#post-23248 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:21:48 -0500 deanlo 23248@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://sfist.com/2012/02/03/jack_in_the_box_unleashes_a_bacon_m.php" rel="nofollow">http://sfist.com/2012/02/03/jack_in_the_box_unleashes_a_bacon_m.php</a></p> <p><a href="http://sfist.com/2012/02/03/sfist_reviews_the_bacon_shake_by_ja.php#photo-1" rel="nofollow">http://sfist.com/2012/02/03/sfist_reviews_the_bacon_shake_by_ja.php#photo-1</a></p> <p>Well yeah, how did you think it would turn out? </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/coors-lite-silk-worms-and-fried-chicken#post-23224 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:09:49 -0500 vdubjb 23224@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.dallasobserver.com/2012-02-02/restaurants/at-tto-tto-wa-bistro-the-happy-marriage-of-korean-fried-chicken-and-beer/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dallasobserver.com/2012-02-02/restaurants/at-tto-tto-wa-bistro-the-happy-marriage-of-korean-fried-chicken-and-beer/</a> Texas is big and crazy! </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/food-trucks-for-pups#post-21791 Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:16:00 -0500 Goats 21791@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://thebark.com/content/more-food-trucks-pups" rel="nofollow">http://thebark.com/content/more-food-trucks-pups</a></p> <p>We need one of these in the City!

Construction on the first redesign, at one of the Columbus locations, began in July and took just six weeks.

Some of us tip our mailment, paper delivery, etc. I used to get my coffee from a stand outside my building and during the holidays would throw him a 20 or so. However, 2 years ago he left and I started going to starbux in my building. I only drink black iced coffee so I wasnt getting raped. Immediately I was a regular to them and they told me about the Sbux account which gets me free refills, so i now spend less than i ever did. (this is not an add/shill, I promise). Anyway, I could just put some loot in the tip jar but was wondering if anyone had any ideas that a group of baristas would enjoy. Cash is great if its one or two people, but there are probably 10 employees, and even a $50 wouldnt get to far. Any ideas? </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/congradulations-zach#post-22722 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:12:15 -0500 Mamacita 22722@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>;-) </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/the-role-played-by-the-housing-societies-for-greater-development#post-22525 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 04:09:03 -0500 Griffin41 22525@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>When considering the proliferation of low cost apartments and <strong> <a href="http://www.abadbuilders.com/" rel="nofollow">Homes Kerala</a></strong>could make rapid strides mostly due to the sincere efforts of the cooperative housing societies. Some of the major guidelines for the allotment of land to these societies are that<br /> (i) Land is to be allotted on first-come first-serve basis, at predetermined rates, and there is to be no allotment of land in the rural areas.<br /> (ii) Number of dwellings per acre is to be 60, although there is a proposal to increase this limit up to 100, and<br /> (iii) Ordinarily not more than two acres are to be allotted to a society and an apartment built by a society should not have a carpet area exceeding 2,000 square feet. </p>
