San Francisco International Airport has started allowing food trucks to park at the departure level of Terminal 1 today, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
According to airport spokesperson Doug Yakel, the initial response has been good: "Great turnout today; I was planning to wait until the end (to get food) as lines were quite long. I’m told that one of the two trucks has already sold out!"
The two food trucks from the vendor group Off The Grid were offering offering Hawaiian and Indian food
Various food trucks will be there today and the next three Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. After the four-week trial period, airport officials will determine whether the program should continue, according to Yakel.
Yakel said the trucks offer locally produced food and support local businesses. "Let's give (passengers) some other new cuisine options," he said.
