I don't know how long Boise has been having food truck rallies; presumably they appeared sometime shortly after food trucks became all the rage on
Food Network. I do know that "gourmet" food trucks have been around for at least a couple of years, having seen them around at various events (
beer festival, I'm looking at you,) but as for the rallies? I first heard of them when I moved to the day shift at my "real" job, and began being able to use Twitter. (Sidebar: for any of you who use Twitter regularly and can't imagine your social media experience without it? Not that interesting on the graveyard shift.) Between fellow local foodies and such entities as the Boise Weekly and Radio Boise--both of whom are affiliated with said rally--I began to hear about it quite a bit.
