I don't know how or why food trucks have become so popular these days but I, for one, am a big fan. It's a great way to try notable dishes from some of your favorite area restaurants without having to make the trek all the way across town.


Here's are several communities throughout West Michigan that plan to host food truck rallies this summer:
