Big Brother Is Watching … You Eat!

Gourmet Truck Expo | South Florida Food Trucks

Some cities are more food truck friendly than others.

Food truck owners and brick and mortar restaurant owners often find themselves at odds over territory.

Instead of joining together to bring more folks downtown in an effort to enjoy all types of food, brick and mortar owners try to mitigate the exposure to food trucks.

Often, rules are put in effect restricting food trucks to remain a certain distance from brick and mortars.

Major cities like Chicago and Boston have taken this to a new level, requiring food trucks to be fitted with GPS devices to ensure they do not venture too near to these eateries.

However, the fact that GPS devices can be off by as much as 30 feet defeats the very purpose of this device.
