>There's nothing about "comes from a truck" that makes food inherently worth less. The food I get from food trucks is almost always far better than equivalently-priced choices from brick and mortar shops in the area. Of course there is. When you sit down at a B&M restaurant, you are renting space from them. You get a table to sit and eat for as long as you want. They provide you with non-plastic silverware and linens that they later have to wash. Air conditioning. Lighting. Waiters. Bus boys. The restaurant has to factor this into their prices, a food truck does not.
