There is only one public food vendor on the University of Florida campus that I know of, and that is Krishna Lunch. Students should not be limited to only one option for cheap cultural food they can buy outdoors.
Students are otherwise limited to the University's many cafeterias, cafes and restaurants, but not every student wants to go to these establishments to eat because it costs too much time and money. In order to bring food diversity to campus that is still cheap, I will start driving a food cart to campus to selling Jianbings.
Jianbings are a popular street food in China that I had frequently while I was doing my internship in Beijing there this summer. I believe this meal can and should be brought to the UF campus, and I would like to try and distribute the Jianbings in the plaza of the Americas similar to how Krishna Lunch serves food from 11:00am to 1:30pm every day in the same location. I will sell them for $1 each so they will be cheap enough for anyone to buy and be big enough to fill people up after just buying just one.
I will have to contact the university to get permission for this and I may not get the go ahead, but I would like to try regardless. In doing so, I may ask some of the Krishna staff how they got onto campus to serve their meals every afternoon.
Pretty cool Idea I'd say. I'm not sure what the meal is, but it looks tasty. I think it would be beneficial if you included different types of cultural foods for different days to provide some diversity on campus. I am not sure how Krishna is able to sell their food on campus, but if you were able to find a way then I'm sure you'd be successful. The more diverse your menu is, I am sure the more you would sell.
