    CONTENTS 05. INTRODUCTION 15. THE INDEX 29. THE SURVEY 33. CITY-BY-CITY ANALYSIS 55. APPENDIX 3 INTRODUCTIONAmerica’s modern founding as a food truck nation began with the late-night cravings of a couple of Los Angeles-based entrepreneurs for Korean-style meat in Mexican tacos. Mark Manguera and Caroline Shin took their hunger to chef Roy Choi, and together they started Kogi Korean BBQ in 2008. Parked outside of a nightclub in the late hours, it soon began its tour of daylight streets with a tweet at every stop and a growing crowd in chase. By the end of Kogi’s first year of operation, its sole truck was clearing $2 million in sales, a then unheard-of figure. Trucks like Kogis are not new. As “lunch wagons,” “taco trucks,” or just “street food,” mobile vending has been a part of the American culinary landscape for well over a century. From their birth in a covered wagon selling lunch food to journalists in 19th Century Providence, Rhode Island, these mobile mini-kitchens took off after World War II as they followed the growth of suburbs to places where restaurants were rare. 5 5 But Kogi’s early successes spawned gourmet imitators that are an altogether different breed from the latter-day “roach coaches.” Appealing to younger, cosmopolitan urbanites with novel takes on casual cuisine, today’s food trucks operate in Kogi’s innovative spirit. Their clever dishes and savvy social media have jump-started a $2 billion-plus industry in cities across America. Food trucks are rapidly becoming fixtures of our communities.

  • Food Service Contract Roadmap Writing Contracts That Integrate Food Waste Reduction
    FOOD SERVICE CONTRACT ROADMAP WRITING CONTRACTS THAT INTEGRATE FOOD WASTE REDUCTION Selecting a new or negotiating with an existing food service provider to work within your organization's sustainability goals can be a tricky process. This roadmap delineates waste reduction recommendations and requirements to consider including in contracts with food service providers. Language can and will vary, but these basic themes should be present, as appropriate for your organization. PROCUREMENT / PURCHASING FOOD Prioritize local foods and products wherever possible and purchase seasonally. Consider setting a sustainable food purchase percentage goal. Commonly-used tools that can help you assess the percentage of your food purchases that are sustainable include the Real Food Challenge, and the Center for Good Food Purchasing. Purchase novelty or seasonal items conservatively or in test quantities to gauge consumer taste. Inventory food stores monthly. Identify items in large quantities nearing expiration dates and adjust future orders to reduce or eliminate under-utilized ingredients. Employ menu planning to purchase only what is needed. Utilize historic sales data (e.g. “slower seasons” or upcoming large events) to improve demand forecasting. PACKAGING Prioritize procurement of food and products with little to minimal packaging or packaging that is reusable, recyclable, or compostable. Avoid single use plastics, disposables, and individually packaged items. Find durable alternatives to as many disposables as possible. All packaging must be recyclable locally or certified compostable (look for BPI, OK COMPOST, or ASTM – D6400 labels). BACK OF HOUSE FOOD WASTE REDUCTION PRACTICES Implement a food waste tracking system (e.g. Winnow, Leanpath, EPA Food Recovery Challenge, or other trademarked system from parent company).
