        "content_html": "<p>The university is back in session, so <a href=\"https://www.cityofmadison.com/dpced/economic-development/street-vending/vending-areas\">the city&rsquo;s lineup of food trucks are back</a> in formation. Some tips:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.elwiscorican.com/\">El Wiscorican</a> is a perennial fav, offering a short but very customizable menu. Vegetarian and vegan options are regularly available for those among us who like to keep it light. They&rsquo;ll ask if you want it spicy &ndash; but whatever your expectations are around spice levels, dial it back. The great north is suspicious of the <a href=\"https://groveatlantic.com/book/the-core-of-the-sun/\">virtues of capsaicin</a>. (I recommend the fried plantains.)</li>\n<li><a href=\"https://saigonsandwichwi.square.site/\">Saigon Sandwich</a> has one of the best banh mi sandwiches in town, which is pretty wild given that this sandwich is produced by a single person in a box trailer. But with fresh bread and ultra-fresh ingredients, it&rsquo;s a really good one. Nothing beats a fresh banh mi with good bread and snappy veggies.</li>\n<li>Madison boasts (at least) two great fresh juice trucks &ndash; <a href=\"https://freshcooldrinks.com/\">Fresh Cool Drinks</a> and <a href=\"https://isthmus.com/locations/natural-juice/\">Natural Juice</a> &ndash; and you&rsquo;re as likely to find them at the end of State Street as you are at the <a href=\"https://dcfm.org/\">Saturday farmers&rsquo; markets</a>. They both make excellent juice concoctions on the spot, and sell delicious, fresh vegetable spring rolls packed with fresh, local produce.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Several years ago, many people were <a href=\"https://isthmus.com/food-drink/window-of-opportunity/\">weighing the possibility that the Madison food truck economy would struggle to recover after the long shutdown</a>, worried because this scene is one of the things that makes the urban food desert more livable during the workday and supports a great deal of local culture with it. This makes your participation in <a href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/16/business/gen-z-treat-spending.html\">the little treat economy</a> practically a civic responsibility.</p>\n",
