New York Street Food

It's freakin' hot out, so I stayed near my office and went to the Jamaican Dutchy cart on the NE corner of 51st St & 7th Ave.  They were a Vendy Award finalist in 2009, and I've tried their jerk chicken sandwich and escovitch chicken, so it was time to try something new.  Today's Lunch is the sweet &...

It may be another hot one today, but I'm picking up some great street food from one of the vendors on the right or the trucks below, and bringing it back to my office.  I suggest you do the same. Our best wishes go out to Chef Samir of the Comme Ci, Comme Ça truck, who is having elbow surgery...

San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department approved a permit on Thursday to allow the popular Off the Grid gathering of mobile food vendors to expand throughout San Francisco.  The current event is hosted on National Park Service land at Fort Mason on Friday evenings, and has proven quite popular.

Last Friday I was involved with a film shoot at the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck for Eat Street, a show being produced for Food Network Canada.  On Thursday, they were filming at the Biryani Cart, and I stopped by to meet the film crew. By the time I got there, around 1:15, the filming was mostly over, so it...

Got caught in some rain this morning, but now it's sunny.  Looks like it's gonna be one of those kind of weeks. We can still enjoy some great street food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Just make sure to check the pink Mobile Munchies twitter feed on our homepage before heading out in case your...

A new North Korean food truck called Pyongyang Express has been spotted around L.A.  The truck carries images of dictator Kim Jong Il and the country's flag.   Their "Subsidized Good Food For The People" includes North Korean beef or chicken tacos for $1, and kimchee quesadillas and rice bowls for $2 each. When asked what's the difference between North and...

Goa, with its gorgeous beaches on the Arabian Sea in southern India is where some Westerners go to "drop out of society", either for a short time or permanently. The most famous dish in Goa is fish curry rice.  Guzzling beer and fried fish with good curry gravy has become a synonym for a typical Goan meal. But not many are...

We ran across a recipe for tacos al pastor on the Denver On A Spit blog that looked pretty good.  They found it in the Planet Barbecue cookbook by Stephen Raichlen. The meat needs to marinate at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight - so make sure you plan ahead for this recipe. It will be worth it. Click through...

I received a twitter follow recently from @chefsamirtruck, which piqued my interest.  I did a little research and found out the Comme Ci, Comme Ça Truck  featured Moroccan cuisine and their specialty was cous cous.  Sounds good.  We love the Moroccan food from Bistro Truck, finding it a nice break from all the halal carts.  The spices and cous...
