I've heard of ghost kitchens, but these are very strange!

The concept can range from pretty innocuous where established restaurants use their kitchen for a separate delivery-only range (and priced accordingly) to blatant undercutting which is what this seems to be. Also let's be real - food trucks were intended for areas that lack other convenient local options and there are definitely sacrifices inherent to the model. This can be ameliorated by the style / location / being served on the spot but I wouldn't want delivery knowing it was made in a trailer!

Interestingly there is a sort of ghost kitchen in Etobicoke but it's occupied by several well established local brands and seems to be geared towards catering more than delivery - more of a communal space for places that can't afford their own industrial kitchen. I have no issue with that.
