June 29 was National Food Truck Day. Food trucks nationwide offered special discounts and customers post pictures of their meals on Facebook and Instagram. The event, promoted by Roaming Hunger, is now in its third year, according to a press release.
More than 800 food trucks across the country are participating in more than 20 major metro areas, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Austin and more.
By posting a photo of a meal with #FoodTruckDay, customers could help participating trucks win $500. The truck that has the most people posting about them on Twitter and Instagram using #FoodTruckDay wins.
"This year is about celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit of our industry," Ross Resnick, founder and CEO of Roaming Hunger, said in the press release. "Our goal is to make National Food Truck Day a holiday that the entire food truck industry can own."
