[title]The food industry dealt with some serious stop and go last year, but luckily, that’s not stopping one of our favorite annual celebrations: National Food Truck Day. What is it, you ask? Here’s everything you need to know...
So what's the deal with National Food Truck Day?
For starters, it’s not only one day. Officially, National Food Truck Day is Friday, June 25th. But Roaming Hunger, the digital hub for all things street food that runs the event, will celebrate all week from June 20th to June 27th. Their goal is simple: get out there and grab a bite from your favorite food trucks.
What’s special about this year?
