Some of these trucks are gleaming and shiny while some are older and faded. However, one thing is consistent — passion.
Some food trucks are now staking out “permanent” locations rather than being mobile. Others have found new outlets in Champaign-Urbana away from the “usual” places, while others have been going around to smaller towns in the the county — and even farther.
Typical food truck spots include area farmers markets (when in season), such asUrbana’s Market at the Square(Saturdays from 7 a.m. to noon),Champaign Farmers Market(Tuesdays from 3-6 p.m.), Rantoul, Mahomet, and Homer.
Other places trucks hang out:Riggs Beer Companyin Urbana,Triptych在萨沃伊（Savoy），尚佩恩（Champaign）市中心，马霍默（Mahomet）的大街（晚上）以及尚佩恩（Champaign）的前景和布拉德利大街（Bradley Avenues）周围的地区。在校园里，厄巴纳（Urbana）的斯普林菲尔德（Springfield）和马修斯大街（Mathews Avenues）以及克兰纳特（Krannert）表演艺术中心的前面。在夏天，有些人在研究公园里闲逛。
