I checked out the website for the funnel cakes and it doesn't personnally excite me. If you like the product, it might be a way to go.

People go to lawyers for legal advise. Lawyer's are people who deal in facts - not visions. As a general statement they make lousy entrepreneurs. So I would discard any "business" advise from a lawyer.

Location or route depending on what type of business you are considering is important - probably the biggest key to success. I still suggest you look at vending carts as an entry point.
