Circa 1960 N.Y.C. My cousin had a fleet of Chow Chow cup trucks in which he sold Chinese food off of . not pints and quarts. but in an edible bowl ,containing Chow mein, egg rolls etc. The buisness faded with the perliferation of Chineese take outs in the 1960′s.I think in todays market it can fly once more, he owned the Chow chow cup outright built up routes and sold them in the metropolitan N.Y. and near upstate area of N.Y., .End

How did the Chow Mein get placed in the chow chow cup? Was it spooned in or was it dispensed from a machine ? Need to settle a bet.
it was spooned on either in the eatable cup or on a hamburger bun
Don – is there any way or is there anyone who might have a recipe for the noodle cup itself? A friend who grew up in Queens was talking about the “Tucky Cup” at lunch today and I would love to make a few for she and her husband as a surprise. I’ve looked all over the Internet and no recipe can be found! Thanks!
I’ll look into it for you
Wendy- If you haven’t found that noodle cup recipe, it’s basically a wonton dough recipe, as in fried wontons. Food trucks are making a huge comeback with new food channel exposure and an economy that is ready for it once again. I was thinking of inquiring just how I could get info on the original Chow Chow Cup. They were great and very inexpensive, about fifty cents, as I remember, back in the day!
Was your cousin by any chance Alan Nussbaum?
I will get back to you on that. Don
yes i believe that was his last name sorry for the delay
I remember these Chow Chow Cup trucks coming to Ganz Bungalows in Divine Corners, N.Y. in the early 60′s.
