The life of a food truck operator isn't an easy one. There's only a limited amount of space to operate in -- and the name of the game is producing food in bulk and with expedience. Unfortunately, that combination can lead to injuries like the ones suffered by Pedro and Vinny's cart owner John Rider.

Pedro and Vinny's Reopening Gets Line Down the Block
Pedro and Vinny's burrito cart reopened at its old location at 15th and K Streets NW on Friday. The popular cart, operated by owner John Rider, closed late last year when Rider left town, but at the beginning of this month Rider announced he was coming back, much to the delight of nearby downtown office workers.
Pedro and Vinny's Burritos to Return!
After the attempted transfer and eventual closing late last year of downtown favorite Pedro and Vinny's Burrito Cart, it looks like owner John Rider is back in business. In an email sent to his fans, he says it's "a long story," but he is very excited to be moving back to D.C. with his family. He plans to be back in business at his regular location this week or next week. Burritos and goose (mango-habanero) sauce will remain the same.
