Food Trucks!!!!

SECOND SERVINGS EP 7: FOOD TRUCKS
http://www.traditionalartsindiana.org/secondservings/

SUMMARY
The podcast mainly talked about foodtrucks and how they effect the community along with their own culture. It's so weird to someone talk without a video...anyway. A lot of emphasis was made on the community and the convenience of food trucks.  Supply/demand is also noted 'get it while you can' as one person stated. It's noted the wide variety and how it's currently trending/becoming popular recently. The operation model is noted, how it moves around through the day and is open for a few short hours and notifies fans via social internet media. Twitter seems to be the big one. The then went on to the noted trucks on the page (Duos, This and That, Hoosier Fat Daddy's...) touched on the menu, how they get their ingredients (all as local as possible while keeping price down) and the Friday Food Truck Festival type deally. The author also notes that this is a way for mortal and pistol stores to branch out.

Fuck now I'm hungry.

REACTION
I love food trucks. Groovy Guys Fries, Some of this some of that, Taste of the Caribbean, gypsy truck, spice truck, fat italian and many more. I love them. Cheap, delicious food right in front of my school /local place? Sign me up. I've gotten to try different cultural foods because of it too. Authentic jerk chicken, authentic curry, grilled pizza, and many other foods are served, made by people who know what the hell they're doing. On top of that, they're always happy! My first trip to the 'Taste of the Caribbean' was amazing but I've never had island food before. On top of that, I was the only white girl in line...so when I approached I asked what I should get and the guy was really helpful and cheerful. It was delicious too! Jerk chicken, fried plantain,beans and rice with a light sauce - tasted as good as it smelt! Spicy too!
