What\u2019s with all the fuss over food trucks lately? All of the sudden you see them popping up everywhere: in your parking lot at work, on busy street corners, or circling the local parks. They always seem to have weird names and colors and outrageously long lines of people in front of them that clog up all nearby sidewalks. So what gives?<\/p>\n

Well, food trucks, it seems, aren\u2019t just for hipsters anymore. The mobile food craze has spread and everyone\u2019s eager to try the quick, conveniently-located, yummy restaurants on wheels. Last month, I went to a rehearsal dinner that featured a food truck with the best fish tacos and fish \u2019n chips I\u2019d ever had, which gave me an idea…<\/p>\n

Epic party-planning tip: adding food trucks to any event is the perfect way to spice up an ordinary gathering, cut out cooking and cleaning, and move your party outside!<\/p>\n

How food trucks can enhance to your party:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It\u2019s yummy and easy (no matter the event): Whether it\u2019s your rehearsal dinner, bar mitzvah party, your poodle\u2019s birthday, or a random summer shindig, food trucks are the way to go. There\u2019s a food truck for pretty much any type of food you can think of, and all you have to do is call them up and they can park in your drive way, parking lot, or backyard. No cooking, no burnt hamburgers, no grocery shopping, and no kitchen war-zones.<\/li>\n
  2. It\u2019s clean: Since you don\u2019t have to cook, you also don\u2019t really have to clean. Just put a garbage can next to the truck so guests can throw away their\u00a0paper plates and you\u2019re golden.<\/li>\n
  3. It\u2019s cool: Putting a fun spin on your party is an automatic conversation starter and is something guests of all ages can enjoy. Also, food trucks\u00a0bring a cool, modern vibe to your event.<\/li>\n
  4. It\u2019s scalable: Having a big party? Have a few different food trucks so guests can have options. Also, most trucks already have a sizable menu\u00a0so picky eaters have lots of choices.<\/li>\n
  5. It\u2019s great for summer: Food trucks move guests outside which will open up your venue and allow guests to take advantage of the summer sunshine.<\/li>\n
  6. It\u2019s memorable: Food trucks jazz up your event in a way that nobody else has thought of, making your event the talk of the town!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
