When you get down to it, skewers are about as food truck–friendly as food can be. They can be made in massive quantities and cooked quickly and easily. Nor is serving them labor intensive – none of the careful, slightly obsessive assemblage of a sandwich or burrito. When they're done, they're done...and when they're ready, they're ready. In the case of Skewers on Wheels, there's a collection of nearly two dozen skewers, about half of which are on the truck at any given time. It always has carne asada, chicken breast with green bell peppers, chicken thigh with green onions, meatballs and sausage skewers. And it may (or may not) have chicken curry, balsamic butter chicken, pesto chicken and other specialty renditions. For those who need more, there's also a salad bowl, Spam musubi (Spam sushi, for those who haven't encountered it) and vegetarian hand rolls. You'll find the truck's daily locations on Facebook, Twitter and on its website, www.skewersonwheels.com.
