From the nostalgic past time of running down the street to catch the icecream man to now—somewhere in between boomed this new-age food truck phenomena—humble mobiles grander than any upscale brick & mortar restaurant. Walk right up to the makeshift counter and grab a creatively cooked meal to-go, al fresco style and at crazy affordable prices.
