Id love to see food trucks that were dirt cheap and just did 1 food. Please park this grilled cheese truck outside my house

Trucks that do 1 or 2 foods are not that uncommon. We have a fish and chip truck and a glazed donut truck. But none are cheap.

But none are cheap.

This is the real kicker. Businesses charge what people are willing to pay, not what stuff costs to produce.

In my city: there was two stoners who ran around making three types of ramen - vegan, non-vegan (their broth is a different), and regular (they crack an egg).

It was like $6-7.

I loved those guys and used to follow them around.

Imagine paying $6 for noodles.

They probably loved you, lol.

A ramen groupie

I went to a food truck festival a few weeks ago, and holy shit the prices of stuff. I don't think there was a single item you could get for less than $18, and that was like the price of three french fries.
