Kansas City food fight grease wagons vs greasy pit dives

[renocat]

According to NY times a big fight is going whether to allow rolling restaurants to compete with stand in place joints.  If there were no cafes in the area food trucks would be fine, but otherwise no.  You get property taxes from buildings, likely just gas from a rolling grease wagon.

Food trucks are pretty great.

I'm sure NY has plenty of vehicle tax and food truck licensing

This is happening in KC

is there anything more hipster than a foodtruck?

Add an immediate 1 star increase if it comes from a truck (source: hipster code)

The only food wagon I ever ate at in Renoland I swear got it's meat from deceased cow on the dead wagon heading to the render.

Many foodtrucks are successful and turn into successful brick and mortars. Most aren't successful and disappear. However, the barrier to entry is cheaper than a brick and mortar, so why not let the marketplace of tastes decide which should become brick and mortars? In theory, this should be a more efficient method for testing food concepts in the marketplace and ultimately provide greater value to the eating public.

Food trucks are great for breweries without a kitchen.

Hey, you know what I'm sick of? Food cooked in a professional kitchen. I'd rather eat some stuff cooked on inferior equipment in someone's van because it's cool

There must be really shitty food trucks in KC.

When I worked downtown Dallas, the food trucks were nice and convenient and offered a variety that's not really available for walking to.

Also great because it let's the food find the right market/location before setting up a store.
