Street Food Resource Guide: A Crash Course on the Trend
Seems like every blog and news outlet has covered the street food trend lately. Here's a roundup of the resources and articles we find most interesting.
Each Wednesday, the crew at Vendr TV—a podcast dedicated to “covering the best of curbside cuisine,” puts out a new episode. The short program (they’re each about 10 minutes long) showcases a vendor, their food and their location, from Speed’s Dogs in Boston to Portland, Oregon’s The Brunch Box.
San Francisco may have bacon-wrapped hot dogs and curry karts (and have caught the attention of a writer at the LA Times, but it doesn’t make World Hum’s list of the eight best street food cities, which gives nods to Stone Town, Zanzibar and Mexico City—nor is it included in Forbes Traveler’s round-up of America’s best street food, though improbably it’s Portland, Oregon that gets a nod for burritos. Most compelling of all, however, is Travel + Leisure’s article about the world’s strangest street foods.
