Ice Cream Wars - Burger Van Wars?

by Adrian

How prevalent is 'family' and 'extortion' in the burger van world? I'm interested in the business, but not interested in entering a world with potential for trouble.

Also, I gather that major events are 'stitched up' amongst the big boys.

With both these points I am unclear if the people who made them are outside the industry and making assumptions, or know for real.

I appreciate that if you turn up and trade on someone else's pitch there may be an issue, but assuming you are fair does the business play fair?

Cheers
