Among Friends

I hear Jane talking a lot about food trucks.

The only food trucks I see around where I live look like standing too close to them you’d get poisoned.  Yep!  They’re that bad!

Nothing in the truck is refrigerated.  The truck looks like it has traveled around the world more than once!

I know in Washington DC there are some nice looking ones and when we’ve gone there; we’ve eaten from there a time or two.

I’ve been craving a good hot dog ever since she started talking about the food trucks.

There’s no place that offers hot dogs.

Has anyone here had good food items at food trucks near where they live?  If so...what was on the menu?

NYC has tons of food trucks and you can get any type of food you want.  We have a handful out here on Long Island.  People follow the schedules if the trucks are in different locations on different days.  My friend runs a hamburger food truck with his brother.  It's named after their late mother and is also the name of a famous Michael Jackson song.  They do VERY well.  On weekends they park at one of the wineries and get great crowds in the spring, summer and fall. Because we live in an area with many different ethnic groups, you can find just about any type of food you want.

I would never buy food from a “food truck” .... any food trucks that I have seen don’t look too clean & some of the people inside the trucks don’t look too appealing either!!! ... just not for me 👎👎🤮🤢

Why are people thinking that food trucks don't have refrigerator units? And in my area, and I'm sure others, they go through the same health and safety inspections as restaurants to obtain their license.

I would not be interested in food truck food.

As @Jaspersmom mentioned - there are food trucks all over the place around here (NYC).  At lunch time - there are lines of people.  

I guess I'm used to it.  Before I retired - there was a hotdog vendor a block or so from my building - in nice weather, we'd stop for a hotdog and soda and go sit in the park. 

I grew up with roasted chestnuts and pretzels from street vendors!

Food trucks are prevalent here.  We have a few favorites and don't think twice about ordering from them.

They're VERY popular - and GOOD- here! We have food truck festivals, usually to benefit a particular cause. I went to one at the high school to benefit the small local theater near us. It was packed- I got to ONE truck! We had the crepe truck, the waffle truck, and all different kinds of food.

Obviously we haven't had any for a while, but in June there will be one at the park that borders our house. They've never been there before. And by June it should be OK to go!

I live in an area that consists of  all separate developments. Since the pandemic the neighborhoods have had different food trucks come at scheduled times. These are advertised in the neighborhood websites. This was a treat while we weren't allowed to eat in restaurants and helped the food truck  business owners as well. Wewere able to try out the different food trucks offerings.
