Read MoreFun fact: When I was a kid my parents started a hotdog restaurant. Starting restaurants was something they did, some of them are still going strong (Tom's Burgers in Lompoc anyone?). While "The Dog House" was only reasonably successful, I did have the satisfaction of having a dog named after me. The "Tommy" was a simple dog with ketchup, very popular. My brother's dog, the "Paul" had sauerkraut, and didn't sell nearly as well, much to my brother's chagrin. I have no qualms whatsoever admitting that seeing this clever MOC by nobu_tary has me craving hotdogs, I think I'll be having some soon.
You really can't go wrong with a 50's style diner aesthetic, even in space. Who could resist stopping here for some lunch and a milkshake? Sure you might need to get to some distant system for a intergalactic meeting or something, but do you really want to do it on an empty stomach? Drop by Al's Space Diner by Priovit70 and grab some grub. Great, now I'm craving a hot dog.
UPDATE: Credit where credit is due. This is a heavily modified (spacified?) diner model from the fine folks at BrickBuildersPro.
Hot dogs are yummy, hotrods are cool, LEGO is awesome. So this MOC by street.pop.barbecue is naturally excellent, it can't not be. It claims to be the fastest food truck, and it certainly seems speedy, but how are you going to serve and eat delicious dogs while screaming down a race track? Quick, someone build the worlds fastest picnic table!
