Food Trucks are the best way to get great & affordable food in the US.

I, personally.. always head to the area with the most food trucks when I go to a big city. It's where things be happenin', baby!!!

...as far as small to middle sized Midwestern towns, they are often the best places to find food for hundreds of miles. It's all "word of mouth" too. So if it's good, you'll make bank. If it's bad, goodbye. No 'Yelp' necessary.

You learn to trust the food trucks when you travel.

Nah you're right. I get that you're speaking hyperbolically but goddamn that shit is good, everyone should experience it.

But also Mr. Northeast, not everyone has good Italian, Chinese, or Delis, so count your blessings. I'd murder for a proper chicken parm calzone. Our General Tso's is just saucy, no caramelization. Try and find a good sandwich, best we can do is Jimmy Johns or Jersey Mikes, you want bread with the cornstarch on the bottom? Get fucked.

Everywhere has it's strengths and weaknesses.

Bowling for Soup was a local band that made it big.

They have a song, "Ohio (Come back to Texas)" with a line that says "the Mexican food sucks north of here anyways."

I have recently moved from Texas a little north and east, but still firmly in the south.... man, I can get catfish on the corner, but I can't find a decent taco to save my life. My wife is craving some GOOD Mexican food, and I keep telling her, she's unlikely to find it here unless she learns Espanol.
