Food Trucks.
The only food trucks I knew of in NC were the F150′s with trailers attached to the back, parked at construction sites. The thought of eating anything from them made me itch.
Then we moved to Jersey. Every evening, a few brightly painted trucks line up at the train stop, greeting hungry commuters headed home. One evening Mr. Spicy Lens suggested we try out The Krave. With lots of reservations, we drove up the street and stood in line. To my surprise lots of people were waiting for their dinner outside of an old delivery truck.
After an extra long prayer, I looked down at my styrofoam tray filled with a Kimchidilla. I took a small bite and was pleasantly surprised. Kimchidillas are a soft flour tortilla served with choice of meat, sour cream, shredded kimchi and monterrey jack cheese.
Before I ordered, I asked the same thing, What is Kimchi?
Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish, made of vegetables with varied seasonings. There are hundreds of varieties of kimchi, made with a main vegetable ingredient such as napa cabbage, radish, green onion or cucumber. – wikipedia.org
Mr. Spicy Lens had the BBQ Rice Platter which he quickly goobled up.
A few days ago we were in the mood for the Krave truck, so we headed down to the train stop where it’s normally parked. While we waited on our food, I noticed this sticker.
The Food Network is starting a new series. The Great Food Truck Race! Set your TIVO’s for August 15th. This would be way cooler if our favorite local food truck @TheKrave was featured.
Now the tricky part about Food Trucks is finding them. Kitchens on wheels don’t stay in one spot for long. Where would we be without technology? Most folks follow their favorite food trucks using Twitter. The trucks tweet their locations and how long they will be parked.
I have been known to check for the Cupcake Truck if I’m in the city. I normally find it in Soho on Broadway.
The Red Velvet Cupcake is scrumptious. Follow that Truck @CupcakeStop !

This post is for your enjoyment and taste buds. The Food Network and the good folks who ride inside trucks delivering goodies all day don’t know I exist. They probably only know me as the strange woman who takes photos of the truck and the food I order. Please pardon the poor quality iPhone photos.
OMG! I would be in heaven – mobile Korean food!!
