Hire a food truck to invade your reception with deliciousness #Reception Advice#food truck#steal-this-idea#tacos September 4 2012 | Catherine Clark bijouxandbits Photos by Jonas Seaman Food trucks are big business in cities like Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and Austin, although some areas (like my own city of Chicago) are being ornery about food trucks. Since they are getting so popular, they're a convenient way to nab some late-night grub (or full-on catering) from your favorite local mobile food dispensery?

Still with a bouncy castle we need a food truck! 4 agree Reply We are finding it's about $10/person if you are planning on using the food truck as your main sustenance (or only)….which compared to non-food truck options, is WAY CHEAP. We will be using the truck as our "main meal", but are paying much more than $10/person for heavy snackage and some fresh veggies to "flank" the mobile deliciousness.
