Angela Jefferson didn’t know what to think when her brother e-mailed the photo of a bright yellow truck in a Citgo parking lot, calling itself the “Korean BBQ Taco Box.”
“I was like, ‘Is that real?’ I have to give it a try,” said Jefferson, 47, a medical technician from Orlando who added later that she enjoyed her first taste of food-truck fare.
Aspiring restaurant owners are setting up shop in parking lots all over Orlando, trying to mimic the food-truck scenes of Los Angeles and New York. They’re serving barbecue, gourmet salads, foie gras and cupcakes.
