LA’s own
Kogi BBQ truck introduced me to the growing food-truck-epidemic. But now I’m back in the NYC, and lo and behold, the trucks continue to run amuck on this side of the Mississippi. These amazing food-on-wheels providers all come with personalized Twitter urls to let you know where they are with up-to-the-minute updates. Chasing these trucks through the streets will account for 80% of my summer workout plan.
