SAN ANTONIO - A few months after making it big on Saturday Night Live, the San Antonio food truck named "CockAsian" is for sale on eBay.

Candie Yoder, owner of the Asian fusion restaurant on wheels, is selling the creatively named truck, including cooking appliances and even the original recipes to dishes such as the spicy Korean Fried Chicken, the inspiration for the truck's name, just a few months after opening its doors. The asking price on the eBay listing is $80,000.

Yoder, 40, said the truck had more bookings than man power, and the business has been overwhelming for her family, which includes her husband and three children, ages 16, 14 and 11.

"It became too big of a time consumer and stress for the family," said Yoder. "It was doing extremely well, we just could not keep up with it. One of my stessers was we had far more bookings than we could fill, I needed a staff twice the size."

Yoder said the truck was an "experiment" and was meant to be a family-run busines, but there was just not enough time on top of school and her husband's job.

Although no bids have been placed on the eBay ad as of Tuesday morning, Yoder said many local chefs have offered to lease or staff the truck to keep the unique restaraunt in San Antonio.

In March, the San Antonio Express-News reported the Port of San Antonio banned the food truck in March because officials at the port Googled "CockAsian" and saw obscene results not involving Korean Fried Chicken.

Yoder told the Express-News that the name of the truck is a spin on the restaurant's menu and her ethnicity (white).

After the article ran, other publications including Texas Monthly reported on the incident and the story eventually made it's way to Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update.
