In the pre-history of the food trailer phenomenon, there was the simple taco truck.
It hung out around construction sites at noon, dispensing quick and cheap lunches to hungry workers. I haven’t checked lately, but I imagine there must still be some active operators, their mobile kitchens resplendent in their quilted stainless cladding.
But how the world of mobile kitchens has changed both in geographic distribution, ethnic food options and social media promotion. Corners of the city that might never have imagined having access to the food truck phenom now have several options. And that, naturally, calls for periodic investigations of what’s new in far-flung neighborhoods.
