MOBILE FOOD—Food trucks are a current darling of the food world, but things aren't always so glorious. Says one taco truck operator: "The parking – you would think, oh, you get there and you park.

Then generator is not enough and you have to save energy so have to cook w the lights off. Stuff like that." [R&I]
