It certainly looks similar to the wurst vendors I patronized in Germany
(modernize the dress and turn the table into a cart with a built in grill).
They would serve long, skinny bratwurst or knackwurst that stuck out about
six inches on either side of a brotchen. Only thing missing here is the
mustard and the paper plates.
