Hahahaha the falaishio

Best Sandwiches ever. That was my second home for a summer.... Followed by the gym.

Fat Darrel!

Honestly, Grease Trucks is where is is at in New Jersey. I'm a fan of the Fat Cat and the Fat Bitch personally. Nice choice. Everyone should know about Grease Trucks. Everyone. You can also get Grease Truck type sandwiches at some other places [a diner called the Peter Pank Diner in Sayreville on Rt 9 and a Stewarts on Rt 18 I believe]. They too are good, but they don't hold a candle to the actual ones.

Nice episode! I had no idea these existed before coming to Jersey. They are quite the institution here. And damn, are those sandwiches crazy good!

When I was eating from the grease trucks in the late 1980s and early 1990s, they had the Fat Cat, but I don't recall the other "Fat + other word" sandwiches.

However, they did have amazing Lebanese food. Best falafel, gyro, etc.

Not a big deal, but I think you have your dates wrong. The grease trucks were alive and strong in the 1980s. I don't know when they started, but they could have started in the 1970s, 1960s... I don't know. Worth checking into.

In the early 1990s, Rutgers coralled them all into this one parking lot on College Avenue and provided them power, etc. In the past, they had been parked along College Avenue. There were a couple of trucks near the dorms. One was owned/run by this guy Jimmy that invented the Fat Cat (as far as I remember.)

Many of the sandwiches were often invented in drunken innovation sessions as a collaborative process between students and cart owners. It was always entertaining.

Wow, that was an awesome episode. I live in NYC and drove down to The Grease Trucks after seeing Fat Darrell on a few other shows. Tell him to open a restaurant or make a cooking show of his own - that guy is a genius! By the way, those were some crazy bites you were taking Dan, lol, I thought you were going to eat your hands off! Great show - keep 'em coming!

After reading through the article, I just feel that I really need more info. Could you suggest some resources ?

Hey, nice tips. Perhaps I'll buy a bottle of beer to that man from that chat who told me to go to your blog :)

insane. ridiculous. and not just a little disgusting.

I want one. of each.

That is not a truck for calorie counters.

Awesome sandwichs, good episode.

Keep them comming!

mmmm! Sandwich all-in-one!

Man alive!!! Did you dig into those hoagies or what? Dan...you rock. I have to have you in my place when you come out to the West Coast....no question. I'll serve you up some of the best pie this side of the Mississippi!

Keep up all the awesome work! My only complaint is that they don't come quick enough :) (only because I enjoy them so much....I know how much work goes in to it all)

oh my god! what ridiculous sandwiches, its like the fish finger sandwiches we had at university on steroids, with better names

Great episode! Next time I'm at Rutgers I'm getting the Fat Bitch with a side of Lipitor.
