Is anyone still hesitant to eat from food trucks?

What they lack in service, most more than make up for in serious kick arse food, IMO, clearly the best food and bang for your buck in BR for certain. However, I still notice how many people gaze in wonder but look puzzled and hesitant to eat from the trucks. Most of them are older people, and when I say that, I don't necessarily mean old in age, but that is the effect most of the time as I think they still associate it with roach coaches, and haven't gotten plugged in to what they are all about yet.
Is anyone on here or someone you know still freaked out by the whole food truck thing, or maybe in the dark over what's up with the movement? And if so, what's the reasoning behind it?

That Curbside one creeps me out. Most others are ok.

Depends on which one. Most of the ones I've been to seem clean and I'm sure have to go through inspections.
The ones in Austin are really good if you are ever there. There are trailer parks with 10 different concepts all next together.

Some of the best meals to be had on St Croix(USVI) come from Roach coaches.

Food trucks seem to run out of certain items toward the end of the day. That tells me that you have a better chance of getting something fresh. They don't have extensive storage capabilities, so once it's gone it's gone, and then they get fresh stuff to replace it.

I honestly don't eat at food trucks because I don't want food made by people who handle money.

Curbside is overrated IMO

We had one at Disney. We called it the Roach Coach.
Had some great stuff, not going to lie. I wish there were more honestly. The same little trailer you see at the fair or whatever.

If it isn't popular, you hook it up to a truck and it's gone. Beats building some POS fast food place that gets very little business, it folds and whoever bought/built the place is now out a bunch.
Anyway, I like them.

I wouldn't be hesitant to eat from a food truck, but until yesterday when I saw the Taco something truck on Perkins I had never seen one in BR...Guess they don't hang out close to where I work at in BR.

roach coaches
Whenever I see the word roach associated with food, I think about Southern Belle Sandwich...I know the people that owned it and always thought they ran a clean operation...Guess I thought wrong.
