My new obsession that is Food Trucks.

Lately Orlando has been home to a recent food truck rage. It really is getting big. It seems like in the past few months Orlando has gone from a few to a few on every main or not-so-main road in Orlando. I'm not talkin about some of those dirty trucks and food carts you sometimes see on O.B.T. I'm talking real, legit, restaurants on wheels. These things get inspected just like free-standing restaurants, have liabilities just like they do, and have to hold up to all or most of the same rules and regulations. And did I mention that the food is f*cking amazing!

Here are some of my favorite food trucks.
