Favorite Food Trucks and Trailers

Most of us can recall our first lunch truck experience (mine: 10am burgers from the roach coach that pulled up to my high school). Though I love what's on the menu at traditional street vendors (e.g., burgers and tacos in LA; kebabs and hot dogs in NY), the surge of food trucks and trailers across the country offer some fun and tasty alternatives. A few of my faves:

The Dessert Truck, New York
This was the first truck I had ever heard of that didn't sell the standard street food fare. After devouring a few of their tasties, I was smitten and wanted a mobile bakery of my own!

Skillet, Seattle
High-quality food out of a beautiful Airstream trailer. We briefly looked into retrofitting a vintage trailer, but overhauling one to handle the weight of all our kitchen equip. costs a pretty penny!

Fresher than Fresh, Kansas City
Although I didn't have time to go the last time I was in Kansas City, this tiny trailer with its tasty rotating menu has me enamored.

Green Truck and Kogi, Los Angeles
The first is a great example of how to run an environmentally conscious mobile eatery and the second did something different with a classic street food.
