Has the food truck craze reached your city? It sure has here. They've been around for years as mobile lunch wagons, often in industrial areas. The current trend is for more upscale offerings, usually with a particular specialty. They congregate in busy areas. During the summer, a fleet of them show up in Tower Grove Park for dinner a few days a month. There is even a web site for St. Louis food trucks so you can find who is where day-by-day.
When I went down to Citygarden on Thursday there were three of them lined up on Market Street: Greek, Mexican and vaguely east Asian. I chose a gyro from My Big Fat Greek Truck. It was delicious.
All the trucks are creatively decorated like Zeus here, hacking meat off the gyro cylinder. I understand that the artist was in his/her portraits class when they painted this but had not yet reached the nose and mouth units.

I'd go with my tunafish sandwich or salad for lunch. You can tune a trumpet, but you can't tuna fish. Sorry!
The food truck craze has reached Phoenix. They have food truck Fridays on a lot near downtown.
Julie and I were at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in August and there was a row of food trucks on Wilshire Blvd. in front of the museum.
Not really. Well, not at all. I wonder why...
We do have them in quite a few places. There's one parked permanently in a lot five minutes walk from home, which among other things sells poutine.
If you've never heard of it, it looks awful but tastes like heaven...
You speak a foreign language Bob, what the heck is a Greek 'gyro', and no not too many food trucks in Perth.
