Special Features
Food Trucks + Fixes
Food truck chefs and their staff wear many hats: Part culinary innovators, part entrepreneurs, part duct-tape surgeons, part land-yacht navigators, they're on the frontline of bringing food to the people. Sometimes amusing, sometimes painful, their stories bring to light some of the inherent problems of operating a "non-traditional" dining experience. We discuss the realities of taking a food business to the streets, and how these four food truck operators navigate their everyday roadblocks to bring you gourmet meals on the go.
