Food Trucks...

NSB Photog

There are becoming more and more popular around the office complex here.

Do you get food from them? Is there any type of food that you would avoid?

So far I've survived Mexican and Pizza from a food truck.

look for the ones selling cuisine.

LA has the amazing Kogi BBQ, deconstructed Indian street food, kimchi burritos, and wicked burger variations.

Baits Out

When I had my shop and later worked at a couple other places in local industrial parks we had "roach coaches" come around twice a day.

Never heard anything bad or had any bad food from them since they were enterprising people who depended upon repeat business.

Most were savvy friendly Hispanic businessmen I enjoyed talking with. A couple were very sexy smart hard working young women who also flirted and knew what guys liked to look at.

Most stocked their trucks from a large commissary in north Dade County as I remember and the selections were fresh and great, and prices reasonable. They also offered credit to people with jobs and collected on Fridays, . . . and were also carrying on that day.

Matter of fact, when I am cruising about now and see one stopped, I will also if hungry.

The food trucks have come a long way from the roach coaches I remember. In Orlando people seek them out due to their personal home cooked recipes and even gourmet food. I've seen a few on the Food Network with some awesome food.

Roach coach and food trucks have split apart and are now two different things.

Food trucks have good stuff

Now I have a craving for a boiled hot dog on a old bun with ketchup mustard and diced dry onions.

My cycling group who puts on the Tour de Gainesville had a huge party at my house a month or so ago and we used these guys. I only had to make 15 gallons of wild pig chili, they took care of the rest. Squeezed their truck in my drive and plugged into my old dryer outlet.

The trucks in Gville are good, ethic is the best I think. Pensacola has some permanently down town (old airstreams) they are good too.

Is it a coincidence that "troop" rhymes with "poop"?

I think not...

It was common slang in the 80's/90's. It annoyed me. I don't have blue hair :hairraiser

Yes, the 90s.

Are tacos or hotdogs considered to be cuisine?

Taco Bus doesn't hold a candle compared to California Taco near USF. Give it a shot sometime - it's "the bomb" :grin

There is supposed to be a BBQ truck that frequents one of the parking lots around here, but I haven't had it yet. I've always wondered how they cook BBQ in a truck though, or are they cooking it in a smoker somewhere and then reheating it in the truck? The trucks here or only parked for a couple of hours, which leads me to believe they are cooking it prior to arrival.

Hot dog stands are popular in places ...

We used to have a "biscuit lady" who would come by the loading dock and sell her goods. She was very popular. She didn't have a license. No one ever got sick that I knew of...

My father told me not to buy food from anyone who could be 3 states away by the time I got sick. Worked well until the KFC debacle.
