Dynamic URL rewriting with .htaccess - not rewriting

I am trying to create seo-friendly URLs from my dynamic ones with a .htaccess rewrite. I've tried a ton of different rewrites and none of them are updating the URL. My other URL rewrite condition works fine...removing ".php" from the end of the URL.

Example:

Trying to change this: 

food-truck.php?city=miami-fl&name=john doe

To this: 

food-truck/city/miami-fl/name/john%20doe

Here is one of the rewrites I have tried with no success:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule food-truck/city/(.*)/name/(.*)/ food-truck.php?city=$1&name=$2

Any suggestions appreciated. Haven't been able to figure out a solution from similar questions in Stack Overflow posts or forums.

Thank you.

EDIT: Here is what did the trick...

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^city=([^&\s]+)&name=([^&\s]+)$
RewriteRule ^(?:food\.php|)$ /%1?/%2? [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^city=([^&\s]+)&name=([^&\s]+)$
RewriteRule ^(?:food\.php|)$ /%1/%2? [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\s\/]+)/?$ food.php?city=$1&rname=$2&r [L,QSA]

There is an extra slash in the end of your rule. Try to remove it:

RewriteRule food-truck/city/(.*)/name/(.*) food-truck.php?city=$1&name=$2

Also maybe you need to add the beginning and end:

RewriteRule ^food-truck/city/(.*)/name/(.*)$ food-truck.php?city=$1&name=$2
