Introduction

A CRASH COURSE ON FOOD TRUCKS AND CHEAP EATS

If you’re familiar with my channel, you’ll know that my dining experience tends to center on my car’s dashboard. For a YouTube food review, it is the BEST option for enjoying and detailing what makes a certain order stand out. With that in mind, I was inspired to think of all the unique ways we enjoy food: family dinners, BBQs with friends, picnics, happy hour sliders, fish tacos and so many more. With all these different ways to eat and connect, I thought we’d start off with the community. And nothing brings people together quite like food made by hard-working, caring people. While you can find these dishes all across the restaurant world, I find that the ones that speak to me come from trucks and Mom and Pop spots.

Food trucks are a traveling person’s best friend. Regardless if you are a block away from home or exploring the streets of Italy, you may not always be looking for a restaurant to sit down in. Sometimes you want to be by the water or roam about the city on your lunch break. Most areas will have a food truck posted nearby with some amazing hidden gems when it comes down to selection.

Have you ever been inside of a food truck? Do allow me to take you for a mental tour. On the passenger’s side of the truck, we slide that door back and walk up two steps; all to be met at times with another door to our immediate left.
