According to a fire department PowerPoint presentation entitled “Food Trucks: A Transient Hazard,” obtained by the research group Public Intelligence, everyones favorite mobile eateries represent a serious terrorist threat to our city. In tersely-worded bullet points, the presentation unveils the threat of trucks’ “black market” permits, locations in high-foot-traffic areas, potential use as surveillance vehicles, and, in one hilariously urgent point, colored red for emphasis, that food truck “numbers are expected to increase.” They’re coming for us!
The report also lists some perhaps more realistic, unintentional culinary threats posed by the trucks, including “explosion–presence of multiple propane cylinders,” “shock–from high voltage electricity,” and “burn–hot fryer oil and grills.” Yikes.

I'm a struggling chef and the most I could at the moment is get me a cheap food truck from truck auctions in Melbourne and sell my special burritos and nachos on the street. I just want a normal and honest way of living as a cook and if some people deem this as some kinda terrorist crap they'd like to put it, then I'LL BE DAMNED!
