Food trucks aren’t just about convenience; they’re a growing part of local culture.

This trend shows how much people enjoy the unique flavors and flexibility food trucks offer.
Experts stress that food trucks often create a sense of community. “They bring people together,” says culinary expert Jennifer Marsh. They’re often seen at festivals, markets, and neighborhoods, making it easy to gather and enjoy local flavors.
