Sacramento Bee: Sacramento's first gourmet food truck will be rolling through town starting Jan. 29, co-owner and restaurant industry veteran Davin
Vculek said Friday.
Food trucks emerged as one of the nation's biggest culinary trends over the last year, serving such dishes as Belgian waffles, chicken
adobo and escargot in cities including Portland, Ore., and San Francisco. The Food Network even launched "The Great Food Truck Race" in August and attracted 2 million viewers in its debut.
But in Sacramento, strict city ordinances, including a 30-minute limit before food trucks have to move at least 400 feet, have put the brakes
on this trend.
Sacramento city officials are meanwhile warming up to the idea of gourmet food trucks. Mayor Kevin Johnson told The Bee in August that he believes the City Council "can develop a plan that allows mobile food trucks to thrive alongside other businesses."
