We've always liked guys in trucks, although we never though we'd apply the rule to food trucks. That was until Gourmet Command Center hit the streets in their purple and black, totally pimped out, former-SWAT-surveillance-vehicle now turned food truck.

This roving kitchen demands to be taken seriously, folks. We mean it.

The Business: Gourmet Command Center, Gourmet Mobile Food & Catering Truck

What You Need to Know: Think East Coast inspired cuisine like cheese steaks, hoagies and subs. They're hoping to offer Maryland crab cakes, soft-shell crab sandwiches and shrimp po'boys at catered and special events. Never-fail sides like seasoned and sweet potato fries round out the offerings with deep-fried pickles and fried green tomatoes shoring up the menu's regional flare.
