Two years ago, you could count the number of Baltimore's food trucks on one hand. For most people, "food truck" meant the dude on the corner slinging crappy hot dogs -- or, if you were lucky, a passable gyro. <br> <br>

How did we survive? <br> <br>

These days, Baltimore has something like 20 food trucks, serving everything from high-end cupcakes to Korean BBQ pulled pork tacos. They're all over the city, even as far out as Towson and Owings Mills. But they're not all delicious. <br> <br>

Top 10 based on who? This is just someone opinion, and it looks like it is based on not having tried the food.

Concept? Interesting menu?

Rating a FOOD truck should based on one things only, THE FOOD, and to a smaller extent, the price.

Some of these food trucks leave much to be desired for what you pay and what you get. They are merely a novelty. Try some no-name food trucks and you will be surprised.
