Americans have come to expect far more and creative vendors gladly answer the call. From early ice cream trucks to the hot dog vendors with their Vienna Beef umbrellas, thousands tumble out of offices, factories and stores, headed to that truck down the street where they know what they’ll find and don’t mind standing in line for it.

Chinese Food Culture: How Many Meals Per Day?
