Food Trucks Are Not a Fad (Infographic)

Remember the “roach coach” of days gone by? These trucks parked outside an office or a job site to cater to the poor saps who forgot to pack a lunch for the day.

In the past, those folks were faced with the choice of going hungry or shuffling over to these mobile sustenance stations. The mere mention of food trucks may still churn the stomachs of those whose worksite lunch options were a (hopefully) fully reheated mystery-meat burrito or a prepackaged egg salad sandwich of questionable age.

Today, food trucks are different. They’ve come a long way, both in the quality of fare and in the literal sense, since they seem to be on every corner.

Check out this graphic to learn about this tasty trend by the numbers.
