I like that there are food trucks. Used to eat from them when in the military and working at various bases. Most of the food was good. Made fresh each day, no left overs. Never cared for Quiznos, their food is marginal & expensive. This franchisee has to pay corporate before she can count any profit, so I can see why she is cranky. Will be interesting how this plays out.

I love it. Capitalism at its finest. This is what the USA is all about Obama. Provide the best product or service at the best price or go home!!!

They need to learn how to compete, just like every major metro area has that supports large amounts of food trucks and brick and mortar restaurants. And Quiznos is terrible. Of course the food trucks would take business away when they serve better food.

Take their business to the suburbs and do their business there? Your chain restaurants and your ability to buy bulk product cheaply to give cheap prices CLOSED a lot of mom&pop places. Now the small business entrepreneur is making some head way and you are scared.... GOOD!!!

So, the brick and mortars are going to try to use the force of government to beat their competition? Fascist, good ole boy tactics. Food trucks represent the entrepreneurial spirit this town needs to revitalize!

Food Trucks are a wonderful option for diners. They compliment any neighborhood's dining options. Competition is healthy!

That is absolutely ridiculous! If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. America is still a capitalistic economy. Win customers with good products and service or expect new competition.

There might be 80 or 90 restaurants downtown, but few of them have decent food at decent prices. There should be room for both permanent venues and food trucks. I worked downtown for over 20 years and would have loved to have the choices offered by food trucks.

Sounds like Ms. Patel needs to up her game. It's not fair to the consumer to not have competition.
