Overpaid for a fancy flat top griddle for my truck - big mistake
I spent $800 on this high end flattop griddle for my food truck back in February. Figured it would last forever. Thing warped after two months of daily use. The center bulged up and made eggs slide to the edges. I lost about $300 in wasted food and had to switch to a cheap $150 model from a restaurant supply place. That cheap one works better and doesn't warp. Anyone else get burned by expensive gear for their truck?

Thing warped after two months of daily use" - yeah I had the same exact problem with a premium brand last year. The expensive ones are built thin to heat up fast but they can't take the constant high heat on a truck setup. I switched to an old cast iron griddle from a restaurant auction and I'll never go back. It's heavy as hell but that weight keeps it flat no matter what. Get your money back on the fancy one if you can or resell it to some home cook who only uses it once a week.
