Ultimately the legality of it may swing either way, but in the realm of business ethics, any food truck that parks right in front of a competing brick and mortar comes across as a bit sketchy to me. If you food is that good, people will find you. I just see no need to be so aggressive with a competitor. Park across the street if you have to, but if you have to be closer than 150 feet, then maybe the problem is you.
I've got big love for food trucks. Folks are turning out some amazing stuff and reaching a lot of people. But I think scruples are important too.

So I buy the building next door to Feast and open up a BBQ joint. It's totally legal. Parking a BBQ truck right in front of Feast would be unscrupulous, mean and not a way to get fans but it is really no different.
