Lunch trucks have been parading around job sites and offices for decades, offering everything from burritos to grilled cheese sandwiches hot-and-ready for America’s hungry workers. Yet for many modern workers, most lunch trucks are naught more than fast food — only dirtier and on wheels — and certainly not enough to satisfy today’s conscious appetites.

Even if they’re not “Roach Coaches” at all and it is not engine exhaust keeping your burrito warm, the new generation knows what it wants: good food. So in step Mitchell Collier and Kam Micelli, inventors of “The Green Truck,” a solar-powered lunch wagon currently cruising the streets of Los Angeles in search of eco-minded lunch hours.

Highlighted in the most recent issue of ReadyMade Magazine, these two entrepreneurs are selling organic lunches to LA’s number-punchers and office denizens. They also like to frequent photo shoots and festivals selling organic burgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, and other assorted organic fare.

The Green Trucks themselves (they own a pair) run off of biodiesel and waste fry oil and their kitchen is solar powered. In addition, Green Truck customers will eat with corn-made, compostable utensils and recycled-paper plates.
