Food Trucks Bazaar!

I am familiar with the Taco trucks -- there are a lot of them in the Northwest, especially in areas with a large number of Hispanics. We like to eat at them and I really like their mini-tostadas. And I've read about the more gourmet food trucks in New York City that people follow on the Internet in order to find their current locations.

But I've never heard of, nor imagined a gathering like the one we sent to this evening in Sanford, a town north of Orlando where Leslie's brother lives.  Every first Saturday of a month, the town hosts a Food Truck Bazaar in a large downtown parking lot. The City Council decided this would be a good thing to attract people to the stores in the downtown area.

There is all kinds of food. The one above is The Twisted Cuban with, of course, Cuban food, while the one below is called Fork in the Road. The slogan says "When you come to a fork in the road, you should stop and eat!" I'm not sure what they were serving -- never got to that one.

There was a l-o-n-g line in front of this one --

Oh, no wonder, they're selling gourmet cupcakes of all kinds!

How about a lobster roll?

This one was the Gastro Truck. Their menu featured things like shepherd's pie.

People had brought lawn chairs and even tables and set up little encampments while they sampled --

Forry had a pulled pork sandwich from a BBQ truck and I bought a "pupusa," a pork stuffed tortilla with a cabbage slaw.

I was intrigued by this menu and had to get us some skewers of chicken hearts -- mm good!

There was a truck with Swedish food, one with crepes, a waffle one, a Vietnamese one and another that was all desserts. That's just the ones I can remember... There was even a gourmet handmade popsicle cart where we got lime mojito popsicles.
