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.
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.

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.
