Great… Another Thing For Food Trucks To Worry About
Add community boards to the growing list of things that food trucks now have to worry about! In light of the Frites N Meats explosion on Monday, a member of the Tribeca community board expressed concern about about food trucks being “roving firebombs”. Even though DNAinfo has discovered that the Frites N Meats may have had more than the legal number of propane tanks on their truck at the time of the explosion, it seems a bit hyperbolic to punish all food trucks because of one rule breaker… especially considering this is the first incident like this that I can remember, and food trucks have been a part of the NYC landscape for years and years. Sadly, the anti-food truck movement will look for any reason to get rid of street vendors and this is now going to be added to the list of reasons.
Speaking of the Frites N Meats Truck… members of the NYC Food Truck Association will be donating a portion of their proceeds today to help the Frites N Meats Truck get back on their feet.

Ugh…what’s wrong with people? Why is everyone so fucking scared all the time? It reminds of this article I read called the Wussification of America. I know that the issue that the person was bringing up that it was near a school. I don’t know how far, or close, the truck was, but…you can’t shield your children from life itself.
It’s just not possible.
