I know this column had a no more terrible pun policy, but without them, how else would you name a food truck? Popular culture, music and literature are excellent sources. Try some of these examples:

• Banh Mi Maybe
• We Found Love In A Hummus Place
• Noms Over Baghdad
• Wok King in Memphis1
• Naan Sequitur’s
• You Can’t Handle the Tuna
• Ruth Bader Ginsburgers (w/Justice Stephen Fry-ers)
• Johnny ‘Cue-nami
• Armbaguetteon
• 50 Shades of Filet
• Toastradamus
• The Grilliad (or The Codyssey, if you’re doing fish and chips)

Alternatively, should you, like many aspiring purveyors of fine cuisine in a small space on wheels, prefer not to have an association with groan-inducing wordplay, try our handy Food Truck Name Generator below. Good luck and light up those fryers.
