Fish Out of Water Sushi Truck

A good man and friend of mine, Mike Smith, has recently opened his own food truck in the Orlando area.  At a recent stop at Redlight, we ordered from his truck and the sushi was great.  I'm happy for him and it's good to see him doing something new and exciting.

Of course, what excites me most about Mike starting his food truck is the American inspiration that Mike embodies and the unwillingness to sit back and let life happen to him.  I've known Mike for nearly 5 years and he is not a dreamer.  He is a doer.  At this point in our nation's history, it seems we have a great percentage of citizens with this idea of entitlement who want the world to be hand-delivered to them.


I remember when Mike first bought the Shipyard bus and was thinking about taking a trip up the eastern coast and wanted to get some people onboard.  Of course, everyone in this country with a set of testicles has dreamed of a trip with some buddies drinking beer and experiencing the good ol' US of A.  Within a few months of the plan taking place, we were on the road.  This is just one example of the can-do attitude that we need more of in America, especially at these times.

Best of luck to Mike Smith in this new venture.  It's nice to see Americans getting out and making their own way.
