    I guess that leads to the question of why, then, should anyone buy from a food truck aside from novelty?

    I had such high hopes for food trucks in Chicago. On paper, the advantages of the food truck should be:

    1. Lower fixed costs result in savings passed on to the consumer.
    2. Specialized offerings result in higher quality products.

    In practice, what I've observed are high prices, small portions, and often inferior quality to the fast food joints one block away. What am I missing?
