For many people, food trucks are an essential part of enjoying the spring and summer months. With the coronavirus causing closures across the state, you may be wondering if local food trucks are still on the menu. While some have locked their wheels, for the time being, others are finding new ways to serve customers and their communities. Here’s a handful that are still open.
