Why this exists

Operator economics first - then a verified LA food truck field guide. Every truck listing carries a confidence tier (listed, verified, or claimed), a public source, and a last-verified date. Nothing is ranked by sponsorship or payment, and owners can correct or claim their listing at any time.
