Food Trucks are Back

Food Trucks are Back

Providence, Rhode Island

Food trucks have finally returned to Kennedy Plaza in Providence. This is one of the more popular trucks: Mama Kim's Korean BBQ. While popular for lunch at Kennedy Plaza, they are even more popular on the East Side with the college crowd after midnight. Notice, though, that there are only two trucks here today. The number this year has dwindled significantly with many of last year's trucks either up for sale or scattered into new locations. The area had become oversaturated last year, so it looks like we're seeing a healthy "market adjustment" for the industry at the start of this season.

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

It's good Mama Kim's was one of the ones that stayed.

@cejaanderson Definitely. They've an excellent business model centered entirely around the food truck, and they provide high quality food at a very low price.

Cool shot. They are getting more and more popular in Cincinnati.

A wonderful capture Ron! The food truck sounds like it has yummy food in it! We don't often see many food trucks over here in Australia! x
