    Actually in many cases, food trucks are becoming over hyped and expensive than brick and mortar places with meh quality

    I was amazed on how many food trucks would be lined up in DC. Our guide made sure we were able to distinguish between licensed and unlicensed food trucks there.

    I have several friends with food trucks and they love what they do. I live in a rural area where there are few restaurant options, and people's expectations on quality aren't so high. I worked in one for a day ro help a froend out and het a semse if i wanted to do one myself. We did 177 orders in 8 hours and it was frenetic. That pretty much cured me of any interest I had in owning one.

    In Hawaii we call the food trucks a “ lunch wagon “.

      That makes perfect sense. Because the original name in Spanish is lonchera, which can mean lunch box or lunch truck depending on context.

      I know food trucks were called “roach coaches” due to their unsanitary conditions. In the past unless you had no alternative to eat at a brick & mortar restaurant or grab something to go at a convenience store, food trucks were the last place to go to eat.

    Where I live the only food trucks are from the brick and mortar places that added a food truck later

    It makes sense to have restrictions on how close food trucks park near brick-and-mortor restaurants. If that wasn't in place, there would be an oversaturation of low quality trucks on every block. Exaggerating numbers here but no regulation causes substantial, long-term problems.

      The prohibition of the 1920's wants to talk with you. He's got a nice looking suit and says him and his Italian friends are looking at getting lunch with you down by the concrete plant by the river outside of town. Sounds like an interesting evening, have fun!

    The obvious low-overhead aspect of food trucks is that they don't have to provide washroom facilities to customers.

    When i worked construction in 90s in LA the food trucks would roll through at am/pm breaks and lunch. Quick and way too cheap. With the trend now they are a freaking joke, price, owners, customers, used to be cheap and the shady reputation kept the pinks away. Now, not my food not my people, ive moved on.

    Plus l, if you take cash or trade (not digital) you don't have to give the bullies your lunch money, or the pirates your booty, you don't have to enable the evil doers to do more evil. You provide a service and get to keep your pay.

    Food trucks became popular because people are hungry.

    Couldn't make it through this episode. Whoever's voice this is needs some kind of voice training or filters or something. Too annoying.
