Not all that long ago we avoided food trucks like the proverbial plague -- possibly because that's what you might catch from eating at one. Lunch was yours to enjoy since nary a colleague would ask for a bite of anything purchased at a greasy food truck.
Roach Coach. Upchuck Wagon. Either way you were guaranteed greasy fries and burgers for not much cash.
Fast forward to 2012. The food truck is king. Long live the food truck. It is now way cool and semi-fine dining to buy a meal from these wheels. In fact, a Friday night gathering of food trucks at one local site is the place to be seen.
Of course, many of these food trucks have upgraded their menus from the greasy burgers and fries that made them famous -- or infamous -- to tasty international dishes from Thailand,India and other once exotic locales. I generally like the idea of a moveable feast. Sometimes it's a real "find". Unfortunately my next "find" needs to be someplace to sit down and eat.
