The Rise of the Anti-Talk Show

By JASON ZINOMAN

The talk show is a stubbornly traditional art form, which makes for a huge satirical target that several new shows are inventively setting their sights on. 

(Every Thursday night, Lonnie Bishop and Lisa Case have a dinner date. For $5 each, the couple dines on fancy hot dogs served from a food truck.管淑平
每週四畢修和凱斯都有個晚餐約會，每人花5美元，這對情人吃的是一輛餐車賣的豪華熱狗。)

The fire engine-red food truck is part of a growing fleet of mobile food vendors that raise the bar from the traditional "taco trucks" that sell mainly Mexican fare at construction sites. Their menus are wildly different which are tasty and inventive fare, often organic.
