Chicago aldermen to take up issue of food trucks
CHICAGO — The Chicago City Council is expected to take up an ordinance allowing operators of food trucks to prepare meals aboard their vehicles.
Chicago, known for its high-end restaurants, has lagged behind other cities when it comes to joining the food truck craze.
The trucks, with their niche menus, can operate in the city. But chefs can't cook and prepare food onboard — and they are governed by strict rules prohibiting them from parking within 200 feet of a restaurant.
