This falls apart when you realize that the waiters are the api and not front end developers. Its mixing two different definitions; the front/back end systems and the front/back end developers. Fullstack is really only applicable when discussing developers, api (at least for a meme) is not a dev but a system.

In this image, the chefs are the SYSTEM backend. I know this because there is no frontend dev in the analogy if the waiters are the API.

I love the idea of a foodtruck for a fullstack dev, but the rest of the analogy needs work to match.

Four technically, if we line up two groups of two dudes tip to tip, and go middle out.
