Street Food Rocks www.voanews.com/english/news/usa/Curbside-Cuisine-Takes-Street-Food-to-New-Level-131142653.html

         In recent years, the success of food trucks has been on the rise in big cities across the United States. Mobile kitchens offer gourmet and ethnic food to customers they might not otherwise have reached. Some say social media outlets may be the major contributing factor to the success of the food truck.   
     Stephan Boillon is making his signature sandwiches with his sous-chef in this small kitchen in a truck. Lunch-time customers have formed a line outside it, in downtown Washington D.C., waiting to purchase a $7 sandwich.  
     “This is my favorite truck," says Jean Fundakowski, who works nearby. "It is Cuban sandwiches, so it's really spicy and they are not too expensive and they are really fast.”  Boillon, a restaurant chef for more than 20 years, tried to open his own traditional restaurant first. “It was right around the time the banks crashed and the economy went down," he says. "So there was just no money. This is something I could open on my own.” His food truck, El Floridano, hit the street less than two years ago. Back then, there were about a half dozen food trucks in the area, Boillon says.  Now he counts more than 70 and the number keeps growing. Most of the operators are aspiring entrepreneurs drawn to the business, like Boillon, for the low startup cost.  
   For customer Grant Collins, the ethnic food is the attraction. “I certainly think it is better value, particularly there is no service charge et cetera involved. I think the quality and the taste is as good if not better than is available in regular food outlets.”
     The popularity of the food trucks is a concern for nearby restaurants, like Loeb's New York Deli. “I do not wish ill on anybody, but it certainly makes it a little bit harder for everybody when you have that many food trucks in that park over there,” says deli owner Marlene Loeb.      
     Jeff Kelly, who franchised his Eat Wonky food truck, is one of the founders of the Food Truck Association. Since food trucks are always on the move, Kelly says staying in touch with customers through Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets is critical.  Kelly says food trucks bring a vibrancy and an exciting new menu of dining options to the city.
