National Food Truck Day 2025

Food Trucks. They began in Los Angeles like most of the rest of that which is bad for the nation.

In the Navy we called them the "Roach Coach".

Food Truck    
The petty officer of the watch would announce "The roach coach is pierside" and we would go and grab a bite or two or three.

They sported all manner of delictable foodstuffs hot and ready for a tired sailor on duty or a pier wandering power lifter on the West coast.

Today is National Food Truck Day.

It is observed on the last Friday in June making it June 27 this year.

Though I don't do a lot of food truck business since my hitch in the Navy was up I still have fond memories and would not hesitate to grab a bite from one should nothing else come in between.

They originate from medieval food carts through the chuck wagons of the old west and the serving of hotdogs and burgers blossomed into the availability of just about anything you might want to eat.

So even though it's not "really" a holiday I choose to observe National Food Truck Day because of my past.

Just because I don't typically utilize them doesn't mean that I won't.

Happy National Food Truck Day.
