It’s a Dark, Confusing Time For Food Trucks

Food truck negativity seems to be picking up steam this week following the less than kind L.A. Times article on Friday. Bon Appetit posted a “I”m Sick of Food Trucks” article on their blog yesterday, and Tom Collichio called food trucks the worst new restaurant trend in a Metromix interview. But just to give you an idea of how confusing the scene really is… two days after the L.A. Times published their article about how the food truck business is on the decline (featuring the owner of Road Stoves, the biggest food truck outfitter in Los Angeles), they published a second article in the Business section saying that companies who make food trucks are doing gangbusters. Make up your mind, media!

    It’s not really confusing. Many people are starting food truck businesses, filling the pockets of companies like Road Stoves. Food truck proprietors aren’t necessarily successful in selling their wares to the public.

    • I know! That’s why the two articles side by side are so hilarious… Road Stoves provided a ton of the quotes for the negative article. And the positive article makes no mention of the food truck backlash reported in the first. Just that food trucks are going strong, so food truck manufacturers are doing great business.
