100% not a Real New Yorker here. Though I grew up upstate so my brain absolutely objected as I typed that, NY is not NYC! ahem. For those of us not familiar, what is the difference between a street cart and a food truck? How fancy does the cart need to be before it counts as a food truck?

Excellent question KL! The essential difference is that with a food truck, the kitchen is inside the vehicle. A street cart is towed behind the vehicle. Also, street carts sleep overnight in weird dingy commissary garages in scary neighborhoods.

I had no idea the distinction. Thanks to you, I keep learning.

Also -- 20 hours a week for a labor of love is a beautiful gift to us all. Thank you!

To me a street cart needs an umbrella, usually Sabrett. Anything else is a wannabe food truck.
