Food truck city: Mobile dining in Greater Boston

-
Starting April 1, some Boston food trucks will begin operating until midnight (fingers crossed it isn’t some cruel joke). Local truck Bon Me, which offers bold Vietnamese food from scratch, is one of 10 named in Boston Mayor Marty Walsh’s proposal for extended food truck hours. In honor of all-hours snacking, here are some of Greater Boston’s tastiest food truck offerings.
