BCC: FACEBOOK FRIENDS: It is with a heavy heart that I must announce, on this day otherwise reserved for the giving of thanks, the surrender and closure of The Mangler, Ardmore's No. 1 Scrapple Sandwich Food Truck. To explain, here's an excerpt from the article on Huffington Post this morning:

"Maybe it was always too good to last," said proprietor Wh**ey McKee. "People round here just can't stand to see someone make it. Sunken eyes, smoke-dried faces, and a dead-end street. Your papers slagged us off, the neighborhood strays tore up our trash, and the voters of Delaware County made me accidentally set fire to my own truck. So, I'm throwin in the towel.
But you know what? For one moment, I stood up and did something. I looked that old mutt called life in the eyes and knocked the bone out of its mouth. I dared to have a dream, like those guys in The Commitments or Ghostbusters. And that, to me, is the biggest success of all, even if we never sold a single sandwich."

McKee, 66, first attempted to open his food truck in August of this year, before suffering a string of setbacks, including yesterday's "unexplainable dis-assembly" which authorities claim was perpetrated by McKee, himself, while intoxicated.
The former Public Access personality, known for his 2011 cooking show, "Eat It, You Won't!," also remains a suspect in the arson fire that destroyed his truck earlier this month.
