Rate this post
Whenever I ’ megabyte travel, I ’ thousand eager to try the foods of a fresh locate no matter where they ’ rhenium served ; seat me at a restaurant with white-linen tablecloths or an oilcloth-covered table in a credit card lawn chair, and I ’ ll eat whatever is in front of me. But my favorite kind of eating doesn ’ thyroxine involves seating at all, the aluminum fresco dining offered by a street vendors is my choice way try authentic eats. * Of course, this kind of dine can besides be elusive, as it ’ sulfur apt to pack up and drive away, or move to another corner without warning. So I was psyched to learn that a new shape of traveling food truck has emerged in Los Angeles. Both the LA Times and the New York Times have reported that Kogi Korean BBQ has created a brainy business model which enables the hungry masses to track their truck via Twitter ( @ kogibbq ). The New York Times piece describes the craze : The food at Kogi Korean BBQ-To-Go, the taco seller that has overtaken Los Angeles, does not fit into any known culinary class. One man catch on his cellular telephone as he waited in line on a late night said

it best : “ It ’ s like this Korean-Mexican-fusion thing of crazy delectability. ” All of which makes me think that the Twitter estimate for street food make a lot of sense. I inactive wake up at night craving the cinnamon and carbohydrate churros, complete with a creamy caramel center, that I stumbled upon while in Cabo San Lucas last year. When I sought them out later in the

workweek, I was ineffective to find them, and left Mexico longing for another smack. so far, in my preliminary look on Twitter, I ’ ve been able to find the Rickshaw Dumpling Bar Truck ( @ RickshawTruck ), which will more than satiate your dumpling needs in New York and Brooklyn ( yum ! ), and the Treats Truck ( @ TheTreatsTruck ) that serves up cookies and pastries throughout Manhattan. There ’ second besides Wafels & Dinges in NYC ( @ waffletruck ), and the Goodie Truck in Pittsburgh ( @ TheGoodieTruck ). I ’ ve besides come across a list of restaurants using Twitter ( updates on specials largely seem to be their tweets ) and the bang-up app Urbanspoon ( @ urbanspoon ) can be followed on Twitter besides .

eateries and which do you most crave?
