The good news is "Food Truck Tuesday" on a road near where I work has about a dozen trucks and thats been stable for years. Sales are intensely weather dependent, or maybe rephrased hungry people are much more weather sensitive than walking exerciser-type people like me. If the weather's awful sometimes it'll just be me doing my daily mile and the trucks out there and no one else.

The bad news is thanks to the food network, five of the ten trucks are now korean bbq (which does admittedly taste awesome) and all of them think $10 to $15 for a small amount of food is a fair price because thats what they charged on the great food truck race while in NYC so... When I walk over and splurge $15 for a little entree I always feel weird getting there by walking past perfectly good brick and mortar restaurants where I'd get more food for like $8 worst case.
