    Mc Donald's has a semi trailer kitchen as well they brought to disaster areas. I think that is a great marketing idea and to help the community recover. You can spend $100000 in food and those people will always remember that hot meal and more likely to visit in the future. Glad they have those, I wonder what other restaurants fast-food have big kitchen rigs??
