Food trucks have to sell their products to the public, and don’t have a captive “audience”…
The ones I’ve tried range from those selling hot dogs, chili, and pre-made sandwiches outside some workplaces, to the “gourmet” trucks downtown… plus we have a lot of Mexican food trucks here.
All serve adult instead of child size portions… require on-the-spot cash payment…
and are way more expensive than a school cafeteria lunch…. most of which are bland, starchy…. and subsidized for many students.
The sandwich trucks also sell far more junk than a school would allow… overpriced candy, wrapped stale sweet rolls, soft drinks, jerky, etc.
Is there some kind of healthy, inexpensive school lunch truck I don’t know about?
There’s something about a food truck. I know brick-and-mortar outfits don’t always care for them, but I patronize plenty of brick-and-mortar restaurants, too. And I do like the food trucks.
It’s not the mobility that I like, I don’t think. I think what I like is that when your whole kitchen is in a repurposed UPS van, you’ve only got so many different things you can cook. So what you do cook, you have to cook really well.
There’s a lesson in that. While I never get what people like to call writer’s block, there are times I do feel like I’m offering you guys a more limited menu than I do when the mobile kitchen is firing on all cylinders. Okay. So it goes. Whatever I’m, making, then, I’ll make it really good. Because I’m not about to just pick up and drive to a different group of readers.

And the cafeteria was closed because… ??
In my extremely limited experience, the only reason for closing was vermin. Anyone with more knowledge care to explain?
