It obviously depends on the demographics your are limited to.

I'd probably do crepes (sweet and savory) or, depending on what kind of local bread vendors I could get, some kind of from scratch regional sandwich type thing.

Fried dough. Accompanied by a plethora of toppings, both savory and sweet.

The dough would be similar to a yeast roll, with a slight fermentation to give it a little bite. Each one would be oblong, about six inches long and four inches across, just big enough to be able to sit in a paper basket, but large enough to feel like you're getting a substantial meal.

On top would be your choice of one of several toppings, either cold or hot. The original would be a spicy, meaty tomato based topping, with chunks of Italian sausage and flecks of pepperoni and red pepper, and topped with shredded provolone and Cheddar cheese. There would also be pulled pork barbecue with slaw, curried chicken, grilled chicken in a General Tso's sauce, and cheese steak. The sweet toppings would include buttercream frosting with a caramel drizzle, powdered sugar, and chocolate ganache. There would be room for expansion to the toppings menu depending on demand or for whatever new toppings take my fancy. I would make them to order and sell them as a single or a combo with one entree and one dessert.

It would appeal both to foodie types for the eclectic toppings, and to people nostalgic for carnival style treats. They'd all sell for one price, except for an extra plain one in case you finished your first and had extra topping left over. The combo, of course, would be a savings. Drinks would be bottles or cans.

Preferably I'd set up near an area that had outdoor seating and good garbage collection. For take away service, I'd put them in Styrofoam clamshells, otherwise they'd be served in the aforementioned paper baskets. Napkins aplenty; these get messy when you eat them. And yes, this is something I've made before. It comes from an old recipe my grandmother used to make for parties and functions.

I would do easy simple sandwiches (turkey, roast beef etc.) With nice cheeses on them and the usual veggies on it. think subway except it would be on regular sandwich bread but heres the kicker. On each sandwich you would choose what kind of chips you want and we'd put a good portion (2-3oz of chips) directly on your sandwich, wrap it up, slice it diagonally and re-wrap it so you have a nice portable sandwich with the awesome crunch of your favorite chips in it. Its so sime and if you sourced your ingredients well enough you could easily serve it for $4 a sandwich. Id probably give it some upbeat catchy hipster name and I could park it at the college in the metro part of the city during the afternoons for the college kid lunch rush and in the evenings I could park it at the waterfront to catch the leisure walkers/dog walkers

Alcohol, I would park by bars and clubs and sell my alcohol at a real cheap price. So people looking to get drunk can get that little cheap boost from me, then head on into the club to sit around with one really expensive drink for the whole night.
I guess i would also sell munchies and drugs to make up a better portion of the profits.

Wings and burgers. Boring, but that's what everyone 'round these parts likes so it wouldn't be too bad.

There's a bar I go to every weekend, and this guy always parks his food truck in the parking lot, goes in and takes EVERYONE'S orders, charges them on a card swiper, and then brings the food to them. He makes tons of money.

That's a great investment actually..
