  • Mobile Food Vending and the Public Realm: a Seattle Study
    Mobile Food Vending and the Public Realm: A Seattle Study Jenny Ngo A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2012 Committee: Dennis Ryan Branden Born Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning University of Washington Abstract Mobile Food Vending and the Public Realm: A Seattle Study Jenny Ngo Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Dennis Ryan Urban Design and Planning Due to its position in the public realm, low public-investment costs and popularity among residents, mobile food vending presents a potentially effective means of improving streetscapes and amenities within a neighborhood. The flexible and adaptable nature of mobile food vending provides opportunities for increased vitality, walkability and pedestrian activity for the public realm. This research explores the design potential of mobile food vending two-fold: if mobile food vending is effective at contributing to Seattle’s design goals of an “attractive, vibrant and liveable city” and what qualities of vending make it effective at addressing these goals. The research used structured observational studies for 20 vending sites within Seattle and evaluated the ways in which mobile food vendors addressed these citywide goals through three site characteristics: public or private ownership of the property, the duration of the vending unit and distance from the sidewalk. Through these evaluations, this research has found great variability in the ability for mobile food vendors to address design criteria and issues of walkability based on these factors. The distance from the sidewalk was the most showed the most variability in these results, however locating on public or private property as well as a vendor’s duration has additional implications to how vendors affect the public realm.

National and local media picked at the story after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed new regulations, which promised to severely restrict food trucks, referred to as "loncheros"or "taco trucks," in East Los Angeles.2 The authorities and business interests supporting the restrictions argued that the food trucks were a cumbersome and unsightly form of vending. On the opposite side, loncheros, foodies, and those looking for cheap meals viewed the restrictions as a full-frontal attack on local Los Angeles, the food scene, and Mexican food cultures.' Culinary resistance and enforcement of the new restrictions resulted in taco truck litigation.

    GOURMET FOOD TRUCKS: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION OF ORLANDO’S FOOD TRUCK SCENE by ZACHARY ARLO HAWK B.A. University of Central Florida 2008 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2013 Major Professor: Ty Matejowsky © 2013 Zachary Arlo Hawk ii ABSTRACT Gourmet food trucks have emerged as increasingly popular dining alternatives for consumers in today’s urban landscape. Existing literature, as well as my own ethnographic research within Orlando, Florida’s mobile food vending scene, reveals that food truck owner/operators utilize various strategies to establish a viable niche for themselves in this diversified and burgeoning market. Among other things, these strategies include online social networking, creating and maintaining a recognizable brand identity, collaborating with local retailers and bar owners, and incorporating organic and locally produced ingredients in their dishes whenever possible. As in other parts of the country, there appears to be a growing concern in greater Orlando about local diets and the profound and subtle messages it conveys about contemporary eating habits. I contend that dining at gourmet food trucks represents a legitimate declaration of consumer identity about individual beliefs and values. In my thesis, I examine how Orlando’s gourmet food trucks offer consumers a greater selection of food options and allow locals to participate in a viable social network and community. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Foremost, I would like to thank all of my interviewees, Joey, Viveca, Joel, Steve, and Tim.

  • Kogi Truck Culture
    UCLA InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies Title Kogi Truck Culture Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/743896px Journal InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies, 7(1) ISSN 1548-3320 Author Choy, Vivian Publication Date 2011-01-28 DOI 10.5070/D471000689 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California With featured spreads on the BBC and in the New York Times , and Newsweek , the Los Angeles-based Kogi Korean Taco Truck’s fame has certainly spread beyond the limits of Southern California. Dubbed “America’s First Viral Eatery” by Newsweek (Romano, 2009), excitement has hardly dimmed since its “opening” in November of 2008. The truck’s number of Twitter followers was reaching nearly 76,000 as of October 7, 2010. Founded by Mark Manguera, Caroline Shin-Manguera, and Chef Roy Choi, the Kogi Truck cuisine is a fusion of Mexican eats with a Korean flair. Chef Choi recounts how “these cultures— Mexican and Korean—really form the foundation of this city … Kogi is my representation of L.A. in a single bite” (Romano, 2009). With a current fleet of four trucks (named Roja, Azul, Verde, and Naranja) devoted followers rely on Twitter and the Web to track the trucks’ locations. “Kogi,” meaning “meat” in Korean, is certainly a reflection of what they serve most. Their popular menu items feature tacos and burritos stuffed with Korean BBQ short rib or Korean spicy pork. According to Ben Bergman of National Public Radio, the most well liked entrée consists of the “short rib taco stuffed with marinated beef and topped off with lettuce, cabbage chili salsa and cilantro relish” (Bergman, 2009).

  • Virtuoso® Celebrates National Food Truck Day by Naming the Best U.S. Cities for Mobile Culinary Delights
    VIRTUOSO® CELEBRATES NATIONAL FOOD TRUCK DAY BY NAMING THE BEST U.S. CITIES FOR MOBILE CULINARY DELIGHTS NEW YORK (September 26, 2017) – In honor of National Food Truck Day on October 11, Virtuoso, the leading luxury travel network, polled its advisors to determine the best cities to visit for cuisine on wheels. Though street food is nothing new, we are now living in the golden age of food trucks (pumpkin spiced waffles and sushi burritos, anyone?). While there are great trucks across the country, here are Virtuoso’s picks for the top five cities that stand out from the pack. 1. New York City – Once synonymous with hot dogs and chicken kebabs, New York has reinvented its mobile munchies. Think falafel sandwiches, Maine lobster rolls, and Hungarian-fried flatbread. Tacos el Bronco is a must-visit; the truck is so famous, it sends delivery guys out on scooters. Some of the city’s most celebrated grub on wheels, like Mexicue, have increased in popularity so much that they now boast a brick and mortar location as well. 2. Los Angeles – Rumored to be the birthplace of food trucks, long-standing taco carts are now neighbors with farm-to-table chefs, pizza trucks, and mobile donut shops. Don’t miss the Kogi Korean BBQ, widely credited with re-energizing the food truck movement; and Ta Boom, the first Brazilian truck to hit the streets of LA. The city also celebrates street food with an annual week-long event in July. 3. Austin – Texas’ capital city has been known for supporting mobile nom machines long before other places in the country.
