User blog comment:Kate.moon/Seattle to Follow Food Truck Craze/@comment-2763-20110812062041

New Zealand seems to be decades ahead of parts of the USA! But I guess Washington's a bit younger than New Zealand. We've had mobile food stalls for donkeys' years. All legal, with regulations or bylaws covering matters such as noise and litter and health. Mostly called "piecarts" in common language, though the operators may like to give themselves fancier names. There's at least one really mobile food truck now in the Auckland area (our largest metropolis), as noted in my article.
