“Food Truck Festival.” It’s a thing. Excuse me if I can’t get too excited about standing in a long line for the privilege of paying distinctly trendy prices for something handed to me wrapped in foil, which I then must eat while continuing to stand around.
Oh well, at least the trucks don’t have their hoods open to show off the color-matched cold air intakes and a a little easel next to them holding an airbrushed placard listing the compression ratio and original MSRP.
Last Call indicates the end of the Hooniverse broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.

    I still can’t get used to the whole food truck thing. For many years, the only food trucks that I saw were the Roach Coaches that served sandwiches that weren’t good enough to go in vending machines.
    Saw a food truck broke down on the side of I-20 Monday night, could swear the driver was in the back fixing a snack.

      It’s “hip” now.
      And regulated.

    On one hand, it reached jump the shark levels of ubiquity, but on the other hand, the biweekly (in warmer months) food truck gathering at the end of my street is literally still the most interesting thing to happen in my neighbourhood, and some of them still have pretty decent food.

    I, for one, welcome our new food trucks serving mankind. Seriously, I’m glad to be able to get some delicious and interesting food at events these days, and I’m willing to pay a bit extra for that. It’s not so many years ago that your only choices would be a hotdog of questionable origins or a hamburger made of aged and fermented beer coasters on a foam rubber bun.

    Saw this the other day and it reminded me of the positive impact of certain regulations…and good old-fashioned progress:
