  "body_markdown": "## Who runs The Foodtruck List\n\nThe Foodtruck List is run by a small team and published by [Benes the Menace](https://benesthemenace.com). A real person on our team reads every request and chooses which trucks to send it to. We don't auto-blast your details to a long list.\n\n## Why we built it\n\nBooking a food truck should be simple. Too often it isn't.\n\nHosts don't know what trucks charge, which ones cater private events, or what to ask before paying a deposit. Truck owners get vague messages with no date, no headcount and no budget, and they can't quote without them.\n\nSo we built one short form that asks for what trucks actually need. Then we send each request to a few trucks that fit, instead of dozens that don't. Hosts get real quotes faster. Trucks get leads worth answering.\n\nWe're starting in three cities: [Chicago](/chicago/), [Las Vegas](/las-vegas/) and [Los Angeles](/los-angeles/).\n\n## How we make money\n\nRight now, we don't. The Foodtruck List is a free pilot for hosts and for trucks. We don't take a commission, charge trucks per lead, or add fees to your booking.\n\nIf that changes, we'll update this page first and say so clearly. A change won't apply to a request you've already sent.\n\n## How we write this site\n\nOur guides are researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, then edited and checked by people on our team. Prices are dated so you know how current they are. See [how The Foodtruck List works](/how-it-works/) for more.\n\n## Get in touch\n\nEmail us at hello@thegoodeatsguide.com. We read everything."
