Unfortunatly, in our country, Kazakhstan, there are not such trucks. But we have a lot of different kiosks and sta shalls which sell fast-food, not only American, but more Caucasian : samsa, uchpuchmak, pahlava and so on.
They are mostly located in the center of town and near big markets. But all our shops sell Korean salads and other dishes. You can go and buy how much you want. And Mexican or Chinease food we can taste only our restourants. It’s badly. We can’t often go to restourants
When I will be in LA I definitly find out this truck!

Hi! I was reading The New York Times when I saw Antonio Villaraigosa, the mayor of Los Angeles, together with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Hi my dearest friend,

interesting input. you killed me on the sput by the cult hit thing,good stuff. What else is new sis? It is not sth peculiar to US; every where you go by every school or construction site you see those trucks with foods reeking up the place.

I like the wording though, good job Lucy

In Vietnam, we don’t have this kind of gourmet food truck;instead, we have food carts of street venders.They pull the carts around the street and sell food which is usually traditional food.They usually stop by universities to sell to students, or at construction site to sell to manual workers because they may afford the cheap price of cart food.
At the time when i was the student ,i did enjoy this food very much;it’s not only reasonable in price ,but also has good taste.
One thing i still afraid is the cleaness of this type of food.Anyway, it doesn’t matter me so much.
I hope the gourmet food truck would appear in Vietnam.

Hi ! Gregorex, send us the aeroplane tickets and we will come to dine with you any time you want. A gourmet food , for sure… But please, be careful with the wine: table wine, dessert wine
or a Frankenwine… In fact I do not know what a Frankenwine is. Oh! I’ve forgotten… the volcano ash from the air… Next time.
Thank you for your invitation.

Hi ! We do not use lunch trucks in Romania. And gourmet food in a lunch truck? Who can afford to buy it with our salary?
If we are in a hurry we buy a pizza, a fast food or… in our important cities we prefer Mc Donald for our health security. At Mc Donald everything is fresh and clean.
We have special restaurants and food stalls especially at the seaside (The Black Sea) in summer time. There are Chinese and Korean restaurants only in our very important cities.
We do not prefer the Mexican food.

All the best for you all,

Tania

Hello Lucy,

Nice to read you, an original topic.
In FRANCE, we have a sort of truck like that. BUT you can only eat “chips and sandwiches”. It’s only for people who have no time to eat at lunch.
It’s a poor quality food. But cheaper. I think the chef must get enough money to live with this job. It’s better to do that as staying at home all the day.
In south of France, near Méditerranée, peoples who do that win a lot of money because tourists enjoy to eat quickly and then go back to the see
and the sun. Plus it’s not cheaper. Expensive for a sandwich. But I suppose it’s the same in beautifull LA

Bye Lucy. Read you later.

I think I’ve seen this truck on the TV program. The program is about the people who success in niche market. I was surprised people were waiting in line to buy his gourmet food. Here in Korea, we have lot of similar kind of trucks. It’s common. I don’t think they travel to place to place like him, but usually park their truck in some place and sell gourmet foods. There are many famous or well known trucks here.
