Are the food trucks losing their luster?

I'm finding it interesting that with all the hubbub over the gourmet food trucks and it seems that they sort of are running their course.

They seem to still be popular, but they are getting old hat to some who have already had their fill and they are either assimilating or the novelty is wearing off.

I finally hit a bad one, too. There's one that will remain nameless, but I visited the truck one day at Grove Harbour and ordered and the food was not only terrible, but it was way over priced for what was served. I won't be going back to that truck, and the guy who owned the truck was telling the customers there that he has the same rules and regulations that restaurants have, but of course he doesn't. He may have to pay some licenses and deal with food regulations, but there is no way the trucks have to deal with all the costs and regulations that restaurants do.

But it wasn't what he was saying that turned me off, his terrible food and exorbitant prices is what did it.

Some of the Sony and Crispin-Porter people tell me that they stopped going to the trucks that show up weekly, also because of price. It seems that local restaurants are catching on and offering more food for less money.

So in the end, as is the case with most things, the market evens itself out and it's survival of the fittest. If only the oil companies worked like that and gas prices would go down to a reasonable market price.
