The only time I've gotten REALLY sick was from a pretty good restaurant (not while pregnant). So, go figure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-945811 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 11:18:01 +0000 SweetiePie 945811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ok! I think it depends from truck to truck though. Use your eyes and nose and make a gut decision ;-) Some of the halal trucks I'm not so sure of, but I'm also not a fan of the food so I might be biased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-945610 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 10:29:24 +0000 JessKas 945610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for it. So much yummy food, wouldn't want to miss out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-945150 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 08:32:11 +0000 blackbird 945150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs lemon-lime, our food trucks always gather in public areas....where there are public bathrooms. They still have to follow health code rules </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-945094 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 08:20:09 +0000 citymouse 945094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: depending on the law of where they can park, most probably use the buildings they are there to serve. My husband runs one. He plans his day out and knows where he can go. If its a food truck court they are required to have bathrooms for customers so he will use those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-944779 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 06:15:27 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 944779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smart...for anyone. Where do the lunch truck folks use the bathroom?</p> <p>Edit: I eat from them, enjoy them, but wonder where they go pee and poo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-944705 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 02:22:52 +0000 PurplePeony 944705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate tacos from a food truck this evening and never thought twice about it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-944633 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 00:41:26 +0000 skibobrown 944633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to my favorite, entirely trusted, taco truck almost every day when I was pregnant. I usually ordered vegetarian food to help ease my mind, but I really did trust them completely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-944611 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 00:19:51 +0000 lemondrop 944611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever gotten sick from one before? I'd totally eat at one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-944563 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 23:31:20 +0000 sarac 944563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Portland, and food cart culture is huge here. I eat at them all the time. It would never occur to me to think that they'd be less safe than a restaurant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-944086 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:27:12 +0000 mediagirl 944086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why not? The food trucks I go to have higher health ratings than most restaurants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-943350 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:40:06 +0000 immabeetoo 943350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paranoid :) there was a report in my area and all the food trucks did way better than the brick and mortar shops for food safety </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-943299 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:32:40 +0000 Pink Champagne 943299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paranoid... Food trucks are held to the same food safety standards as restaurants, and in fact, might be safer because everything is usually cooked to order or at least reheated to order. You could just as easily get food poisoning from a 5 star restaurant as you can from a food truck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-trucks#post-943286 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:30:44 +0000 ElbieKay 943286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pregnant self almost grabbed lunch at a food truck in Manhattan today, then thought better of it. Smart or paranoid? </p>
