Then again many “brick and mortar” restaurants owners are opposed to food trucks as they see the competition as being “unfair” and lobby local governments to restrict where they can operate or regulate or license them out of business.

FWIW, the company I work for, last month to celebrate our “New Year” – the end of another profitable fiscal year and the beginning of hopefully, a new one, brought in a food truck specializing in gourmet cheese steaks – fresh thinly sliced and grilled beef, or seasoned grilled chicken and even a vegetarian option and with sides like homemade coleslaw and seasoned roasted potato wedges – all locally sourced and fresh “farm to table” ingredients. Even their steak rolls were made fresh and from a small local bakery as well as the ice cream served as the desert – from a small local dairy. The food was awesome!
We had a favorite food truck, that was an offshoot of a good burger joint....only to find out that they have parked the truck [for catering/event rental] out front of their place. After inquiring of the owner he told us it was too expensive to operate [labor, license fees] and make a fair profit.
A large number of the food carts today in New York City these days serve that disgusting looking, smelling (and tasting) Muslim Halal crap. I would never have thought of buying or eating this junk until one night, about 3 in the morning when there was nothing else in the area, I gave it a shot. Big mistake. It actually tasted worse than it smelled. Never again will I even consider it.
It is one of five الأحكام الخمسة (al-ahkam al-khamsah)—fard (compulsory), mustahabb (recommended), halal (allowed), makruh (disliked), haram (forbidden)—that define the morality of human action in Islam.[2] Mubah is also used to mean "permissible" or "allowed" in Islam."
One of my customers is Empanada Guy here in New Jersey, and is growing like crazy!
There’s a Korean food truck in my area. Bulgogi Tacos!
