Hi, I'm a virgin, '05 will be my first burn, and my art is of the edible kind, my canvas is an empty plate, my studio is a kitchen, any kitchen.
Would my services be appreciated? How would you like someone to take care of feeding you for a day? It's the best I have to offer, or am I way off here? Help!
You have to eat every day, but it does not have to be a chore!
Wandering Cook...would that work?

I would go one of two ways ...
Either something that is staple and needed and you can turn out in bulk all night long like the popcorn palace or pancake house ...
Or something COMPLETELY unexpected like the guy that brought the abalone or the tuna guys or the random pizza delivery folks.
Keeping food fresh is a big problem. Things like melon spoil in 14 seconds. Ice melts, water fills the cooler and soaks into things and ruins the flavor and texture. I was thinking about a boatload of those little breakfast steaks.
Bacon and coffee and hashbrowns are great in the moring and fairly easy to make. The smell carries for a long way and will get people up and out of their tents. It is cold at night so something warm would be welcome and besides, it gets pretty hungry out there on the playa at 3am. Minestrone soup? Maybe gazpacho during the day?

Papier mache? Please. I know it's all enviro-friendly, as you kids say, but plastic is where it's at when realism, and gigantism, are concerned. In Japan, plastic food is a huge industry. Check out Kappabashi, the big kitchenware market area of Tokyo.

pasta would work well too. You can make all the sauce ahead of time and freeze it. Keep it frozen on the playa in coolers with dry ice. I would boil the pasta in a big pot and put it in like a deepfry basket. When it is done, lift the basket out, refill and replace. Less water usage that way.
pasta is a good carb source for people out dancing all night too and don't go too easy on the salt. In fact, use Morton Lite-Salt or make your own with a 50/50 combination of salt and salt substitute to keep both soduim and potassium electrolytes in balance.

Just a head's up: there can be a problem with the health folks. One year in Hushville our positively fabulous pancke people were told they couldn't cook for the public, just for the camp. They simply rearranged the breakfast area and removed the sign, and we all still had pancakes. Then again, Hushville is pretty darn big...
There's guidelines from the health department somewhere in the required or recommended reading. I'll see if I can find it. You can serve food, there's just some better ways than others.
We do snowcones; larry hauls around our big cast-iron handcrank machine behind our bike. No one has ever said a word about that.
spoilingly yours,
