Your food is moving - A day-by-day guide to the Triangle's best mobile food
Edited on Mon Jun-28-10 01:33 PM by supernova
You know, I think one weekend soon, I'm gonna take a tour of mobile trucks for eats. 9 :9 :9

Satisfying a craving for the exotic these days can mean going only as far as the nearest food truck. The roads of the Triangle are rife with food inspired by the bustling taquerias of Mexico, the celebrated creperies of Paris, the beaches of Brazil and the streets of LA's Koreatown. You just have to know where to find it.

Cooks in growing numbers have taken their shows on the road, roaming the Triangle in trucks—and sometimes old school buses—offering locally sourced and internationally influenced cuisine that tempts even those hesitant to eat street food. Our evolving mobile gourmet scene mirrors the established culture of street food carts in cities like New York and San Francisco.

In hopes of tracking down the best of these, I followed my gut, and a few Twitter feeds, leading to popular and hidden trucks throughout Wake, Orange and Durham counties. I discovered that it's possible to meander up to a truck window at almost any hour, any day of the week, for a fabulous meal. Whether I was early rising, late-night reveling or craving a hearty lunch, I found original meals, freshly prepared, that knock the bun off any soggy hot dog. Here's a day-by-day guide to the Triangle's best mobile food. Spread it out over a few weeks, though. Your waistline will thank you.

2. I wanna try the Korean BBQ van
that sits across from Bruegger's on Ninth St.

Chubby's is supposed to be terrific for tacos. They were one of the caterers for the museum reopening a few weeks ago.
