The pun names of food trucks, as a category, are related to the pun names of restaurants. But the best food truck puns go beyond your basic restaurant name pun—they make reference both to the food that they serve and the mobile nature of the establishment. 

Some facts about food truck puns:

—Only about a fourth of food truck names submitted took the opportunity to connect their name to the fact that their business was mobile.

—More food truck names (8, including Kim Jong Grillin') come from Portland, Oregon, than from any other one location.

—As with restaurants, pho puns were the most common, although represented here by only 7 examples—still, a solid 10 percent of all food truck pun names collected.
