Perhaps it is because of our current economy, or maybe it’s just that some of us don’t have the time to sit down to a full-service meal as much as we might like to. Whatever the reason, street vendors are really having their day, reaping the benefits of consumers looking for food’s latest food trends, curbside prepared food.
Our options used to be limited to the taco truck and the hot dog cart, but no more. While those of us whose home base is in the mid-section of the US may not being seeing this trend much yet, it will certainly making its way to the middle, so be on the look out. On the west coast, specifically in San Francisco’s Mission District, street food vendors have become the latest and hippest presence in the food industry. With options like the Sexy Soup Lady, the Magic Curry Cart, Moo Moo Cakes, along with options like Crème Brulèe, Indian food & bacon wrapped hot dogs, there are no shortage of options to choose from. Spencer on the Go, owned and operated by Chef Laurent Katgely, features fine French cuisine from the back of his taco truck. Some of his menu items include Ratatouille Cup Almond Crust, Grilled Sweetbread with Sherry, Frog Legs & Curry, and Esgarot Puffs, all under $10. With options like these the “roach coach” may just become a thing of the past.
