Food Truck Nation: Photo Gallery
SEND US YOUR FOOD TRUCK PHOTOS
Today on Marketplace, Kai Ryssdal takes us out to lunch for a story on the food truck economy in Los Angeles.
LISTEN TO THE STORY: Food Truck Economy
But LA isn't the only city known for its mobile food. Cities like San Francisco and New York are inventing new ways to deliver good food to your street corner. In Chicago, an effort is underway to make mobile eateries legal on city streets.

We are a local company in Santa Barbara that sells frozen french pastry products. but now we are starting a mobile food truck that will sell our same products but now made fresh and ready to order. in SB there are many rules preventing anyone to sell from the street though so we could only park on private property with the permission of the owner. has anyone heard of these restrictions? anyway there is already one mobile "Burger Bus" here and they do pretty well so hopefully we will join them and be successful as well.

Portland, Oregon, has long been regarded as the center of the food truck/cart culture. That city has a long tradition of taking it to a very high level. It was rated #1 in the world; see here:

Thanks for the show.
I am so jealous of the people in LA. I've often wondered why we can't have something like this in D.C. All they sell is hot dogs!! Boring, boring, boring. This is DC! We can do better. Can you imagine how much business they would do with the tourists? I am wondering if DC has some kind of law against them. A good story would be to research this and tell us where we can go to get the laws changed.
