a) Define "street food culture"
Seems different here in Calgary than US cities Ive travelled to. In the US, food trucks always meant cheap food with a local flavour. In Calgary, food trucks have been a nice alternative to the typical food you get in a downtown food court.
If trucks offered more services than lunch DT (ie. dinner in the suburbs) would that give you more incentive to try some of them or become a more frequent buyer
b) What is your opinion of value for money based on your experiences of food trucks.Poor value. To generalize, low quality and small portion size equals poor value.
Expand further. Would combos help increase value? Say 6" sub, chips and drink $10? Or does it not matter. What entails quality. Do you care about local/organic or is it mostly based on portion size.
c) Smaller portion for $5 (ie. 6" sub) or meal size for $8 (ie. 12" sub)? The mind set would be to give variety and try multiple items vs. a couple.Not sure what your question is. But Id say when trying a new food truck it is nice to have the option of smaller portions at a lower price or a sampler type item.
What I meant was most trucks offer one size for x amount. Why not take a page from the US trucks in that they give a smaller portion but for a reduced cost. This allows the customer to try 2 flavors for say the same price as one larger item. (ie. 1 12" tuna sub for $10 vs. 1 6" meatball & 6" tuna for $10 or $5 each).
