The Food Truck... Don't Knock It Till Ya Tried It!

One of Philly's latest food trends is... the food truck.  From Tyson Bees (Chef Tyson Wong Ophaso) to Guapos Tacos (Iron Chef, Jose Garces), the food truck biz is boomin and what a better time then when Spring has almost sprung?


Truckin'
There are a ton of trucks to pick from these days.  Chef's all over are realizing that their target audience is the guy or girl on the go.  The way to get peoples butts in seats is to catch their attention first... so get 'em on the go.  The food truck is not only convenient but usually reasonable in price.  Tyson Bee's food truck is usually located on 33rd and Spruce - right in the heart of University City - from 11:30am to 7pm.  As the weather gets warmer they may move around.  


If you're in the mood for a Late Night Snack, Iron Chef Jose Garces debuted his Food Truck "Guapos Tacos".  On March 4, 2011 Garces hit the streets at 13th and Chancellor.  No word yet as to where they will be this week, but follow Guapos Tacos on twitter @guapostacos and be sure to hit their next spot!


I Got My Food Truck, Who Could Ask For Anything More?
So once you've purchased your Food Truck fare, walk over to the nearest park; my favorite spot in the Spring is Rittenhouse.  This time of year there is beautiful foliage blooming, as well as some interesting folks for good people watching.  If you can't take it anymore and find yourself finishing your meal on the way to the park... get your liquid dessert!  In this city there is a Starbucks on every corner.  Bikini season is sooner then you think, so avoid the Cupcake,  grab an iced Chai Latte and enjoy the city my friends.


The Great and Powerful PhilaDate has spoken, so go drink eat and be merry.
