Setting Background Description:
Food Truck Frenzy is set in contemporary America, where the food truck culture has exploded in popularity over the past two decades.

Food trucks offer a diverse array of culinary options, reflecting the melting pot of American society. They can be found at bustling festivals, urban downtowns, and serene beach locales.
Historically, food trucks can trace their roots back to the chuckwagons of the Old West, which provided meals for cowboys and ranch hands. By the mid-20th century, mobile food vendors began to appear more regularly in urban areas, serving quick meals to workers. With the rise of social media and a growing interest in gourmet street food, the 21st century has seen food trucks evolve into trendy dining experiences, often featuring unique or fusion cuisine that attracts food enthusiasts.
The game takes place in various locations, such as vibrant city streets, festive fairs, and sunny beaches, capturing the essence of food culture across America.
