FOOD TRUCKS * USA: Food truck will grow and morph in the future

* Texas - Four wheels, creative meals: City embraces food trucks


-- More than a decade ago, chef Brian Hay saw the rise of food trucks in Austin, Texas, where he ran a culinary school... Hay, now the director of the University of South Carolina’s Culinary and Wine Institute, thought the trucks were inventive, creative and fun. Many of the owners also were pushing the boundaries of street cuisine. He thought the trend would be short-lived... What
Hay thought was a passing interest has firmly taken hold in Columbia. In 2011, the city issued seven food truck permits. Today, that number has nearly doubled to 13, down slightly from a high of 15 last year... Hay predict that the Columbia’s food truck scene will continue to grow and morph in the future... 
 ▪ The cuisine will branch out into new directions, as owners try to find new niches. 
 ▪ Some food truck operators will transition into full-fledged restaurants, and more restaurants will get into the food truck business. 
 ▪ In addition to more food truck rodeos, some owners will band together to form food truck parks, where groups of trucks stay permanently on a leased lot, creating a sort of outdoor food court. 
... They are popular because the food is fun, often as high quality as sit-down restaurants, and it’s usually cheaper...
