New York Street Food

A French-Canadian company called MUVBOX has invented a food truck where the walls expand and fold out to create stand-up tables and a floor.  Looks like something out of Transformers. Don't think it will work on a NY street, but don't see why it wouldn't work in a parking lot, as long as there was a bit of space. Thanks to...

Someone needs to make a sacrifice to the street food gods so we can get a breakfast truck in NY like the Buttermilk Truck.  The L.A. street food pagans must have sacrificed quite a few virgins to get this beauty.  (Where they found virgins in L.A., I have no idea.  Although it might be pretty tough in NY, too) Check...

David Byrne's oft-quoted lyric was applied to the street food craze by Black Book magazine.  According to their article, first there was Treats Truck, then Dessert Truck, then Rickshaw Dumpling Truck, then all hell breaks loose!

There are great places to get street food that are not trucks or carts.  I'm starting a new section called Honorary Street Food for storefronts with little or no seating that serve food considered to be street food.    We want to support all street food vendors, whether they serve from a truck, a cart, or a tiny storefront.

SF Weekly found an Israeli street food vendor who sets up in various locations, often outside of bars, and calls himself Kike on a Bike.  (His name, not ours.)   The moniker may be offensive to some, but if you can get past the name, they say the middle eastern food is excellent.  Thanks to @eatstreetfood in SF for the...

There was an astounding controversy in the recent TIWYF (This Is Why You're Fat) Eat 'N Tweet street food contest.  It was not won by a fat person. Nick McGlynn (not a fat person) won the recent This Is Why You're Fat Eat 'N Tweet contest, in which the winner had to find six participating street food trucks on twitter,...

For those of you not in New York this weekend, here's some great out-of-town street food: In Lake Worth, FL (near West Palm Beach), Swanky's Low and Slow Barbecue has sandwiches made with pulled pork that has been cooked for 30 hours.  Next time I'm in South Florida, have to give it a try A rotisserie truck :) in San...
