We celebrate National Food Truck Day on the last Friday in June — June 30 today!!. It’s a special day to champion food trucks and encourage the hardworking men and women whose food businesses support the local economy. People celebrate the day by purchasing from their local food trucks, which offer a variety of tasty temptations from smash burgers, BBQ, ice cream, pho, and as always tacos!! No matter our race, identity, religion, ability, or creed... we all love a good meal!!
Food trucks are inspired by centuries-old food carts dating back to the 17th century. Vendors traded food from small carts or moveable mini kitchens, and the practice is still common today where they are found on street corners, in parks, and catering to hungry crowds at special events. Chuck-wagons were the first types of food trucks. They sold edibles like beans, cured meat, coffee, and biscuits to ranchers and loggers in the southern part of the country. In 1936, the Wienermobile became the first official modern food truck. These were vehicles shaped like a hot dog on a bun that traveled the country selling hot dogs at parades, schools, and hospitals. By the 1950s, ice cream vans were a familiar sight in many neighborhoods across the United States. Kids love the cheerful tunes and frozen treats. In 2016, a holiday for food trucks kicked off, spearheaded by the organization Roaming Hunger. Its goal was to prompt people to frequent food trucks run by small local businesses. Initially called National Eat at a Food Truck Day, it was renamed National Food Truck Day in 2018. The date of the celebration also changed from October to June. Food trucks have changed into reputable businesses serving innovative menus offering trendy cuisine that cater to budgets both large and small, often using locally sourced ingredients. National Food Truck Day is not a national holiday and has no constitutional backing, but an opportunity to support local businesses and enjoy a treat at the same time heading into dad’s favorite holiday seems like a great idea! Nevertheless, we were again blessed with 5 great finds this week, please enjoy and be safe this 4th of JULY…..
