These ‘food vendors’ are popping up here all over the place.
Asian, Mexican and Indian.
There were none just a few short years ago.
I wonder what changed?.................
For one, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. A few succeed so everyone is trying it.
Also the younger generation is open to trying new foods, new experiences. trying out new things in life.
Also, there is a lot of cash crossing those food truck counters. Cash that is easily not reported to the IRS and taxed. Restaurants have rules and must keep records, pay taxes, have massive expenses for equipment, tableware, rent... They are in the hole even before they light the burners in the kitchen.
In my town you have zoning areas and can’t just set up anywhere.
