Anyone eaten at a bustaurant?

[MidwestRick]

A new trend in the food truck industry, but seeing as they are only in Los Angeles and San Francisco, I have not had the chance to check them out in person.

Cool article on them here ===> http://mobilecuisine.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/the-meals-on-the-bus-go-%E2%80%98round-and-%E2%80%98round/

Curious if any of you Californians have.

1. I also added a...

Technology review that iPhone and Android users may be interested in if you follow food trucks in your area.

2. Yeah but

If I described my experience it would probably get the thread locked. :rofl:

:evilgrin:

3. Which bus?

I'm curious to here what you thought. How did it compare to other food trucks you've eaten at?

5. Oh, "bus-taraunt"

I was thinking "bust-araunt" :D :evilgrin:

4. Tucson has a relatively new (to me, anyway) lunchtruck...

.
.
.
.
.
...called "Planet of the Crepes".
.
.
.
The usual lunchtrucks here are heavy on the Mexican food (sometimes EXCELLENT)
and Sonoran hot dogs (hard to make them NOT excellent).
.
.
.
It's hard for me to reach by bus or I might be there at this very moment.

Someone (maybe one of the proprietors) posted their menu on a local comment

8. Austin has a growing "Trailer Food" trend.

There are a lot of camping trailers turned into rather specialized food counters. The overhead is low, so they can be experimental with the food. My favorite is GourDoughs--an over-sized specialty doughnut place. Their slogan is "Big.Fat.Donuts"(Gordo means "fat" in Spanish). But there are a lot of them, ranging from raw vegan food to barbeque, with a ton of taco and enchilada trailers.
