Pages : 211
Book Description
With food-truck fever sweeping the nation, intrepid journalist Heather Shouse launched a coast-to-coast exploration of street food. In Food Trucks, she gives readers a page-by-page compass for finding the best movable feasts in America. From decades-old pushcarts manned by tradition-towing immigrants to massive, gleaming mobile kitchens run by culinary prodigies, she identifies more than 100 chowhound pit-stops that are the very best of the best. Serving up everything from slow-smoked barbecue ribs to escargot puffs, with virtually every corner of the globe represented in brilliant detail for authentic eats, Food Trucks presents portable and affordable detour-worthy dishes and puts to rest the notion that memorable meals can only be experienced in lofty towers of haute cuisine. The secrets behind the vibrant flavors found in Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, Hungarian paprikash, lacy French crepes, and global mash-ups like Mex-Korean kimchi quesadillas are delivered via more than 45 recipes, contributed by the truck chefs themselves. Behind-the-scenes profiles paint a deeper portrait of the talent behind the trend, offering insight into just what spawned the current mobile-food concept and just what kind of cook chooses the taco-truck life over the traditional brick-and-mortar restauranteur route. Vivid photography delivers tantalizing vignettes of street food life, as it ebbs and flows with the changing demographics from city to city. Organized geographically, Food Trucks doubles as a road trip must-have, a travel companion for discovering memorable meals on minimal budgets and a snapshot of a culinary craze just waiting to be devoured.

Food Trucks, Cultural Identity, and Social Justice
Author: Julian Agyeman
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262036576
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
The food truck on the corner could be a brightly painted old-style tonchera offering tacos or an upscale mobile vendor serving lobster rolls. Customers range from gastro-tourists to construction workers, all eager for food that is delicious, authentic, and relatively inexpensive. Although some cities that host food trucks encourage their proliferation, other throw up regulatory roadblocks. This book examines the food truck phenomenon in North American cities from Los Angeles to Montreal, taking a novel perspective: social justice. It considers the motivating factors behind a city's promotion or restriction of mobile food vending, and how these motivations might connect to or impede broad goals of social justice. The contributors investigate the discriminatory implementation of rules, with gentrified hipsters often receiving preferential treatment over traditional immigrants: food trucks as part of community economic development; and food trucks' role in cultural identity formation. They describe, among other things, mobile food vending in Portland, Oregon, where relaxed permitting encourages street food; the criminalization of food trucks by Los Angeles and New York City health codes; food as cultural currency in Montreal; social and spatial bifurcation of food trucks in Chicago and Durham, North Carolina; and food trucks as a part of Vancouver. Canada's self-branding as the "Greenest City." Book jacket.

Book Description
In today's world, a different generation of street food lovers is queuing up at food carts and food trucks like never seen before. But what they don't know is that food trucks are not new to the streets. Just as with many other trends, these are the latest version of part of a long-standing American and global culture. And yet the street food industry hasn't ever enjoyed such notoriety or publicity.Based on statistics from IBISWorld, a research firm in Los Angeles, the street food business including non-merchandized carts and mobile food trucks is a billion dollar industry that has experienced an 8.4% increase over the 5 years between 2007 and 2012. It is a very entrepreneurial approach with 78% of operators employing four or fewer employees. The actual number of these entities is difficult to compile, the entire mobile food industry is made of food carts, kiosks and food truck, which can be found in trains, bus stations, airports, malls resorts, conference centers, stadiums and as well as in other locations. Experts in the food industry claim that food truck businesses are on the increase, largely because of a slow-moving economy. More and more people are looking for relatively cheaper breakfasts and lunches. In addition, today's employees are often in a hurry, with more working time than lunch hours. Such contributing factors make the food truck concept better appealing than ever. From a business owner's standpoint, food trucks, trailers, carts, and kiosks have a much lower overhead than restaurants and they can be moved and relocated if one particular restaurant doesn't generate enough business. Instead of having to worry and contemplate about the location of your restaurant and the whole real estate adage which is "location, location and location" entrepreneurs can actually drive to different locations if business isn't great. For your customers, you provide them with the convenience of having their food favorites right at their particular location and satisfy numerous needs by offering mobile food.
