While compiling the list of catchy and clever food truck names, the number of trucks with names that are (or appear to be) at least partially based on musicians and/or songs was noted. So here is a list of those we have come across to date.
Obviously, a catchy name is easy to remember, but caution should be taken as fads can fade. Both the musicians and songs whose names have been morphed into a food truck name listed below should be well-known enough to avoid such a problem. The least known to some would probably be Twisted Sister (Mitten), but that name is eclectic enough to avoid a fade into obscurity.
Please feel free to suggest additional ones we may have missed in our search. Enjoy!
