Food Truck Park Coming to Dallas – U.S. Mobile food business is opening this November to house the local gourmet food trailers in Dallas, TX. It launched its gourmet street food park right outside of its commissary’s door. The catering truck park is the first venue of its type to open in Dallas. Interested vendors can have access to gourmet food trailer rentals on both a short and long-term basis. This opens up an opportunity for individuals who want to get started in the business, but don’t have the money to start up a mobile food stand business of his/her own. More Food Truck Ordinances in Chicago – This past month, a City Council committee signed off on 21 locations where catering trucks will be able to park on a regular basis. These locations are in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, West Town, the Loop, the Near North Side and the Gold Coast. Only two locations didn’t make the cut. One was rejected on the basis of limited parking and the other was rejected due to traffic issues and an already limited number of metered parking spaces in the area. New Food Trucks in Fort Worth, TX – Given the explosion of the food trailer scene in Texas – which started in Dallas in 2011 – Fort Worth is building its arsenal of catering trucks in the area. Last year, there were fewer than twenty, but this month the number hit just under forty. Many established restaurateurs are also building out their own trucks, such as Tim Love of Lonesome Dove, Terry Chandler of Fred’s Texas, and Franson Nwaeze of Watauga’s Chef Point. A Look at the Terrorist Threat Posed by Food Trucks – As food trailer in New York City proliferate, officials are becoming increasingly concerned that these mobile food stands are capable of bringing serious consequences. According to a document obtained by Public Intelligence, the FDNY believes that mobile food vendor may serve as attractive breeding grounds for terrorist activities. Just this year alone, 31,000 trucks have been issued permits. The FDNY believes that these trucks have an excellent surveillance platform due to their road access and long duration stay. However, this is only a counterterrorism effort. It is no way, shape or form backed by any evidence.
