Why do people love food trucks so much?
That’s a question we’ve been pondering lately. We know why we love food trucks, but why do people who venture to food trucks love them so much?
Believe it or not, there are an endless amount of reasons to love food trucks, and we provided eight of those reasons below.
The Food They Offer Tastes Amazing
This is probably the No. 1 reason why so many people love food trucks. From street tacos to hot dogs stands to pizza to lobster rolls to … well, you name it when it comes to food, mobile kitchen food really does taste amazing.
Fun Way to Try Something New
Another one of the good things about food trucks is the vast variety of cuisines they bring to the community. There’s almost always a new cuisine to try! Of course, if you want traditional or comfort food, you can probably find a food truck for that, too.
Food trucks offer a great way to taste foods you’ve never heard of, or might not ordinarily try, with little commitment. You can walk right up to the kitchen, see (and smell) what’s cooking, ask the chef about the dish, and if you’re still not sure, ask patrons how they like it! As different trucks roll into your area, you can branch out and try foods out of your comfort zone rather than sticking with the same old fare.
You Actually Get To Meet The Chefs
When you have a fantastic meal, it’s natural to want to thank the chef, but that isn’t always possible at sit-down restaurants. However, in most cases, the person who takes your order at a food truck is the chef, making it rather easy to thank said chef for the amazing meal you just devoured.
They Are Mobile
This is awesome for everyone involved.
Why this is great for the customer: Because food trucks don’t stay in one place. One week, you can find a delicious food truck in a nice downtown area, and the next week you could find this same truck right outside of your office or the gym. Food trucks move around, which means, in a sense, they come to you.
Bringing People Together
Finally, food trucks bring people together. They provide a great opportunity to meet other people who are passionate about food—or who are just out for a bite to eat. Food trucks add to the atmosphere of large events, and they can even be the event themselves.
