| Call it Food Truck Friday. At the end of the week, Melbourne inner-city foodies refresh their Twitter feeds and Facebook updates to find out where the Taco Truck and the Beat Box Burger are going to park. That night, between 300 and 500 fans - bearded hipsters, local families and iPhone-wielding bloggers - line up until the food runs out, usually about 8pm.
Brunswick resident Rafael Rashid was inspired to take his custom-built gourmet food trucks on the road by the thriving phenomenon in the United States.
But while more than 1000 fancy food trucks compete for business in the vacant lots and car parks of Los Angeles - the centre of the scene - Mr Rashid has discovered the hard way that council bylaws throughout Melbourne prevent him from moving around.
