Cheap, fast and flavourful. Food trucks are here to stay.<\/p>\n

If you’ve seen the movie Chef, you know that food trucks are driven not just by chefs, but by social media. You’ll need to follow your food trucks on Twitter to stay up to date on where they’ll pop up next. Sound confusing? It’s not! Check out our guide to\u00a0some of the best meals on wheels that have rolled into town.<\/p>\n

Pizza Pilgrims, London<\/a><\/h2>\n

Follow: @pizzapilgrims
\nFor a taste of Naples, head to Berwick Street Market where brothers Tom and James Elliot, and their team, can be found serving wood-fired pizzas from the back of a tiny green Piaggio Ape most days of the week. Toppings range from Portobello mushroom and truffle oil to spicy Nduja sausage, providing authentic Italian street food to the masses. This vendor has proven so popular the boys recently opened a restaurant on nearby Dean Street.<\/p>\n

Pretty Sweet Mobile Cupcakery, Toronto<\/a><\/h2>\n

Follow: @prettysweet_to
\nWhile Canada isn\u2019t short on food trucks serving up savoury dishes, this \u2018mobile cupcakery\u2019 certainly satisfied any sweet-toothed cravings when it rolled into town. The turquoise-and-pink van looks good enough to eat, and master baker Savera Hashmi is renowned for both her classic flavours and inventive combinations. Think red velvet, mint chocolate, pumpkin spice and apple caramel. There\u2019s plenty of eye candy besides cupcakes, including cotton candy, cake pops and ice-cream sandwiches.<\/p>\n

The Lucky Taco, Auckland<\/a><\/h2>\n

Follow: @TheLuckyTacoNZ
\nChanneling the energy and enthusiasm of a Mexican street party, this NZ North Island taqueria set up shop outside 230 Ponsonby Road a few years ago, and now also serves their addictive spiced fish, slow-roasted pork and marinated skirt steak tacos at various festivals and events across Auckland. Cool the spice with a glass of agua de horchata (sweetened rice milk infused with cinnamon) or a hibiscus and citrus cooler.<\/p>\n

Cantine California, Paris<\/a><\/h2>\n

Follow: \u202a@CantineCali\u202c\u202c\u202c
\nThe team behind Cantine California are intent on bringing the food truck flavours of the US to the markets of Paris \u2013 alternating between March\u00e9 St. Honor\u00e9 near the Louvre and the fashionable March\u00e9 Raspail located on the Left Bank. Order an Obama\u2019s Burger and feast on an organic beef patty, gouda cheese, chipotle sauce and house made guacamole as you walk alongside the Seine.<\/p>\n

Quiero Arepas, Denver<\/a><\/h2>\n

Follow: @quieroarepas
\nDever\u2019s stateside stalwart is renowned for its Venezuelan-style arepas and pops up at locations across the city \u2013 from Broadway Farmers\u2019 Market to Mountain Toad Brewing, where a black bean and rice pabellon is best enjoyed with a side of plantain and a handcrafted fresh beer in the taproom.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Pig, Portland<\/a><\/h2>\n

\u202aFollow: @PeoplesPig\u202c\u202c\u202c
\nExpect a meat feast from this Portland porcine pop-up, where the highlight is the house-made porchetta. Sliced thick, and served in a freshly baked bun packed with rocket and drizzled in lemon juice, the word \u2018sandwich\u2019 doesn\u2019t really do this monster justice. There\u2019s also pulled pork, wild boar and beef brisket. You\u2019ll find the truck on SW 10th and Washington. A word of advice: you might want to wear a bib for this one.<\/p>\n

The Chairman,\u00a0San Francisco<\/a><\/h2>\n

Follow: @chairmantruck
\nTaking flavourful Asian street food to the next level, the team have transformed the humble gua bao (a steamed bun that is a traditional Taiwanese snack) by stuffing it with cool creations such as Coca-Cola braised pork, savoy cabbage and preserved yellow mustard seeds and Muscovy duck confit terrine with green papaya, orange pickled red onions and mint. With its cartoon take on communist propaganda posters \u2013 Chairman Bao as a pretty cute panda \u2013 it\u2019s easy to spot this bright red truck as it pops up at locations across Frisco.<\/p>\n

House of Flying Dumplings, Berlin<\/a><\/h2>\n

The German capital has embraced the food truck trend with open arms thanks to a number of street food festivals, (eg Bite Club, held during summer months on a boat that is permanently anchored next to Badeschiff). Traditional Beijing-style jiaozi from the House of Flying Dumplings \u2013 found steaming away in a converted VW camper \u2013 sell out fast. Keeping it simple but never compromising on flavour, the fillings are limited to minced pork and chive or tofu and shitake mushroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
