here’s something indescribably special about indulging in fresh food cooked up in the back of a truck. Maybe there’s a bench you politely fight other diners over or maybe you end up awkwardly juggling a drink, napkins, and too-hot-to-eat-but-I-don’t-care food truck offerings in too few hands—but either way you can taste the passion that’s absolutely necessary for a food truck to find success in today’s competitive field. Below Alaska Business has listed just a few food trucks that move around Alaska’s population centers. We’re sure you’ll see a few favorites—and we hope you find some new options to try.
