[edit] Link to greasetruck.org

I am removing the link to greasetruck.org. The site is mainly full of ads. Besides, there are literally scores of millions of things in the universe now that have "inspired" a web page devoted to them. Doing so is really no longer a notable accomplishment. Besides, the inclusion of the link and its description really added no content to the article. -Seidenstud 18:17, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

This has been merged enough already. Food trucks are different than catering, by a long shot. I was actually saddened that taco trucks was clumped into the same article.

[edit] Changed one of the statements on Grease Trucks

I have changed the paragraph on grease trucks slightly... the statement that "The concept of Grease Trucks began when a Rutgers student decided that he would mix multiple types of common foods (steak, cheese, chicken fingers, french fries, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, etc) and combine them into a single sandwich" is misleading... the Grease Trucks predate Fat Sandwiches by quite a bit, but Fat Sandwiches are what made them famous. They were selling greasy deep-fried food for a long time before the first Fat Cat. Cory 18:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable food trucks?

Okay, so there are only one or two now, but what are the criteria for putting a notable food truck on here? Leo's Taco Truck, for example, has been put on here because it is mentioned in a college's student guides. I know of local trucks in Chicago and Philly that have equal reknown. For a truck to be on here it should have some national claim to fame. There just too many non-notable local favorites to list them here. - AKeen 23:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

This article is awful. If I had the authority I would re-write it totally. It written almost entirely from an American viewpoint and the "notable food trucks" section is the biggest proof of this. Who are these food trucks notable too. I have never ever heard of them! Cls14 19:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The standard for including information within an article is a lower threshold than the standard of notability for an independent article. If information about individual taco trucks or other mobile restaurants contributes to the article, and is verifiable with cited sources, then that information can be included in the article. - Michael J Swassing (talk) 02:45, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
