What's the point of Food Truck again?

Some Food truck are as expensive as a full-on restaurant. Why would anyone deal with long lines, ZERO temperature control, unhygienic food just to get something you can get cheaper at a Chilis?

There used to be a Little Caesars truck that would drive around selling pizza.

Like the ice cream man.

Because white privilege. They love chic slumming like eating food made in a truck. How unique and so reasonably priced!

by Anonymousreply 4April 24, 2021 10:22 PM

because it's trendy to stand in that line...

If it’s trendy people will do it no matter what it is. Herds.

Food trucks can be grossly over priced in many cases, but I love street food. I don't get your point about this being specifically a white privilege thing. Many ethnicities sell street food. I think the charm of them is similar to going to a festival or carnival or an amusement park.

Nice segue into Critical Race Theory, there R4

R7 has a man-bun, endless "meaningful" tattoos, large black plastic-framed glasses, and lives in skinny jeans and black Converse All-Stars.

And he LOVES food trucks!

Especially in Austin!

It is cheaper than a restaurant. You can go where your customers are bc you are mobile. BC it is cheaper, you could spend the money on the food, organic, gluten free flours etc. Small batches means you sell out, or drive them over to a shelter, group home, retirement village.

I like it, if done ethically. It a great avenue for chefs.

i loathe chain restaurants. Food truck are a great concept, if done well. I hope cities do this more and more.

There was one at college, I thought the food sucked. I ate it when i had to because it was there most of the night, parked by the dorms. Other kids LOVED it. Loved the food. Especially the Italian food. Is Italian food different in New York than it is in Boston (where I was from)? Or is it just because I'm half Italian and they weren't. No idea why.

Where else would you get your Korean Kalbi burrito with Salvadorian slaw and Hawaiian mango salsa?

They are good outside office buildings. Quicker than going to a restaurant.

I'll take gluten free flours and organic over mass made frozen food with artificial flavoring, any day of the week.

There are plenty of restaurants for you. Food Trucks can be a way for chefs that want to do something different and healthy for customers like me.

R18, what type of customer are you precisely?

People who create an entire sentence by saying “Because” and then adding a noun should be flown out over the ocean for an hour by helicopter and then pushed out.

R22, All of those people are standing outside of food trucks, waiting for their artisanal, hand-curated delicacies.

Send the 'copters!

R9, Wrong. I'm not. I'm a middle aged guy who wouldn't be caught dead with a "man bun" or wearing "skinny jeans".

Seriously, why are LSA trolls flooding this site again?

The gas generators food trucks require pollute the surrounding area with noise and particulate matter.

R33 they offer curbside pickup, unless you don't want to go out. Have you checked the price difference? I am curious how much more you have to pay if you choose uber to deliver to you.

by Anonymousreply 37April 25, 2021 6:56 PM

Depends what the food truck is selling. It doesn't even have to be a "chef" putting out gourmet food. If I like it, I'll stop and buy it.

However, the hell if I'm going to sit at a picnic table next to the food truck and eat there. I'll take my food to go.

R33, shaking my damn head over that, but I strangely believe your post. I use Uber all the time, and I've heard drivers tell me about passengers who booked round trip rides a half a mile up the road just to get some McDonald's.

by Anonymousreply 42April 26, 2021 3:55 AM

They have roaches and flies and the workers have little to no water to clean with. Go ahead and eat.
