What questions will you have for our Food Truckers?

I can think of a bunch of questions for our 4 panelists tonight. What questions will you ask?

• Why a food truck?
• How is Tucson's food truck market doing? 
• How is Tucson's food truck scene different from other cities? 
• How does running a food truck differ from running a brick-and-mortar business?
• What role has social media played for you?
• How are regulations different from a traditional restaurant?
• What is the ecosystem like? For example I notice that there are few food trucks at large festivals like the 4th Avenue Street Fair. 
• Do you have another job? How flexible is the food truck biz?
• What happens when you break down? Get sick? 
• What do you love about a food truck?
• What is your day like? 
• What is it like to expand from a food truck to nationwide distribution?
• What would you do differently? What was your biggest surprise? 
• Is there territoriality? 
• What is better? Moving around? or having a consistent location?
• If someone wants to have a food truck at an event, what do you look for? How do you choose where to be?
• What would you like to see happen in Tucson?

Food Truck Confidential starts at 5:30pm today in the Lower Level Meeting Room of the Main Library downtown. Parking is free in the Library Garage after 5:00pm.
