LOS ANGELES, June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer marks the tenth anniversary of the modern food truck movement. As National Food Truck Day approaches (June 29, 2018), Roaming Hunger set out to make it the biggest Food Truck holiday ever. More than 800 food trucks across the country are participating and providing deals and discounts. Roaming Hunger has invited industry partners to join in spreading the word by getting customers and food trucks involved, including the original creator of "National Food Truck Day" Rick McNeely.
"This year is about celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit of our industry," says Ross Resnick, Founder and CEO of Roaming Hunger. "Our goal is to make National Food Truck Day a holiday that the entire food truck industry can own. Whether you're a food truck or a service that supports the industry, we want it to be bigger than Roaming Hunger."
Food trucks have proven they are not a fad; Food Truck Nation, a study conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, found that a city's openness to food trucks is indicative of its overall entrepreneurial growth.
This National Food Truck Day, say 'Thank you' to this small army of entrepreneurs. Thank them for their hard work, for making our communities a better place to live, and above all else, making life more delicious.
National Food Truck Day Across Top U.S. Cities
This year we have more than 800 trucks participating in more than 20 major metro areas all over the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Austin, and many more.

How You Can Support Local Food Trucks
This year we want consumers to help support their favorite participating food truck through social media. By posting a photo of your meal with #FoodTruckDay, you can help your favorite participating truck win $500.
Roaming Hunger has teamed up with other industry leaders to offer food trucks a cash prize of $500. The truck that has the most people posting about them on Twitter and Instagram using #FoodTruckDay wins.
