While all three restaurants in Boston are open, their food trucks are still off the streets for now. No word yet when they be back up and running.
"A lot of waiting around and working with the Health Department and uncertainty, but today we are open and ready serve some customers," Collicelli said. "We are excited."
Christopher says the city has a rigorous program for all food trucks, and they are still trying to determine the source of the outbreak.
