They were mostly immigrants from eastern EU and middle eastern countries running them. Quite a number of them were run by the Greeks. They were my favor place to have lunch during college verse eating in the School Café. I agree the hipsters think they came up with the idea, all they did was put vinyls on the outside and charge restaurant prices and this some how made the food taste better. Oh lets not forget they offer Vegan, no GMO's, GF, and the list goes on.

They have come and gone where I live. All the hipsters thought they could make a quick buck by opening up Vietnamese/Russian fusion food trucks. They have pretty much all come and gone. The hype has died.
