The ubiquitous food truck

Food trucks are literally everywhere in DC and are very popular with tourists. A recent oped in The Washington Post said they are operated by a “food truck mafia,” charge outrageous prices, violate basic health and safety standards and due to high licensing fees, are for the most part operating illegally, with the authorities inept at stopping them. This one was seen outside the US Treasury building and right next to a restaurant with an outdoor patio.

This is a well-advertised food truck guess the owner want to save on paper.
Your comment gives one something to think about.

Super clash of the chaotic nature of the truck vs. the stoic gov't building VVV~

A nicely captured colorful scene.

This food truck is more attractive than any food trucks I have seen in NY. Maybe this is the reason for the "outrageous prices"? Great composition with the US Treasury Building in the background. ~VVVVV+++~

I think I would rather go to a restaurant! It’s a very colorful truck though. V
