A wrong turn for L.A.'s food truck scene?

Some feel that an exciting, underground culinary scene has become mainstream and obsessed with the bottom line.

Josh Hiller is fed up. As a partner in RoadStoves, the food truck outfitter that helped launch Kogi into the stratosphere, he thinks L.A.'s rapidly expanding new-wave food truck scene is getting out of hand.
"We tried to be very specific about the trucks we launched; we were looking for good business models and good food," says Hiller of the months that followed Kogi's launch 21/2 years ago and its unexpected success. At the time, Angelenos, united by Twitter, lined up for two hours or more to taste the truck's signature Korean barbecue tacos.

I believe this was bound to happen, but in time, the folks with the best food, and reasonable prices will win out eventually. A little competition is always good, but I dont like the idea of the corporations, however, if I had a choice of a Kogi or a Jack-in-the-crack sandwich, guess where I would go spend my money.
