New York Street Food

One of the true pioneers of the NYC food truck scene is Kim Ima and The Treats Truck.  They have been around since 2007, and were given a Best Dessert award at the 2008 Vendy Awards, before the Best Dessert category even existed.

Always evolving, last year Kim came out with the Treats Truck Baking Book, and last weekend, the Treats Truck Stop opened at 521 Court St in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.  We heard there was a toast (with milk and cookies) and a ribbon cutting.  The closest subway stop is the Carroll stop on the F or G.

But this column is about food trucks, and last week I stopped by the Treats Truck to sample a selection of different treats.  I got a Mexican brownie, a raspberry ring and a kitchen sink crispy.

Are you ready for some dessert?  Who cares if it’s 9 o’clock in the morning!

Kim Ima, founder of the Treats Truck, was on Good Day New York for Valentine’s Day – and we have the video.

Kim talks about her love of baking and her love of eating sandwich cookies, among other things.  Kim also mentions the store she is opening in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Below is the video, and after the jump are two of Kim’s recipes from The Treats Truck Baking Book.

The Treats Truck is doing a special promotion with McCormick spices and extracts, and Kim created 3 new holiday-themed treats using McCormick spices and extracts. There are several components to this promotion, including the McCormick Big Cookie Share where you can customize your own cookies, and a free cookie giveaway that was at the Treats Truck last Friday.

Since the Treats Truck will be selling these cookies during the holiday season, we decided to do a taste testing of the new cookies so you can decide for yourself which one(s) you want.  We know it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.
