According to my two-and-a-half year old daughter, everything tastes better when it is little. So when we were choosing a food truck at the International Street Food Festival* on the weekend, Sliders on Tyres seemed the obvious choice. For $14, you get a tray of two sliders plus hand-cut chips. I chose the Fisherman (spiced…

A couple of weeks ago we headed over to the new Batman Market at Coburg and let me tell you one thing for free: it was street food heaven. We were there quite early, at about 9.30am, but already a string of food trucks had formed a wonky kind of circle at one end of…

Sometimes ideas come at you and you can’t think where they came from or why they decided to show up but, what the hey, you figure you might as well go with them anyway. That is the story of our night picnic. The Let’s Do Yum Cha food truck parks outside our local park every…

It’s no secret I’m a fan of a good food truck. I’ve been slowly eating my way through a good number of them, and you can share that journey with me if you want to, here. But this may well be the best food truck idea yet. Called the Food Justice Truck, it is a…

This beautiful elephant is hiding something rather special: delectable curries, samosas, raita, naan bread and more. He guards the back of The Curry Truck, one of the tastiest meals on wheels you’ll find cruising Melbourne’s streets these days. For lunch I ordered the special, because I can never go past a surprise. The first surprise…

It’s a food truck. That sells crème brûlée. Honestly I could stop right there. But I won’t. Only a couple of weeks old, the Brûlée Cart debuted amid the patio lights, floating flamingos and historic buildings of Trailer Park, a weekend gathering of food trucks in the Village Melbourne precinct. Village Melbourne is the relatively-new kid…

In a quest to eat my way through the menus of all the food trucks in Melbourne, I’ve brought you Po’ boys, organic frozen yoghurt, pulled pork, classic burgers, chipotle chicken and loads more, with even more to come. But I’ve been neglecting a decent-sized portion of our food-truck-eating population: the kids! Enter the Famous…

Folks, I put it to you that Babes on Grill are the actual Spice Girls of Melbourne: young, good looking gals who also happen to have some serious skills behind the BBQ grill. The babes have been popping up with their smoky menus at venues indoors and out all over the city for the past…

When a food truck rolls into your ‘hood on the weekend, the best thing you can do is tuck a blanket (ideally made of excessively vibrant granny-squares) under your arm, call your friends, and make a picnic of it. The Dos Diablos food truck is both cheap and cheerful. Tacos and fries, that’s it. Or…

Maybe you know, or maybe you don’t, that I’ve been following food trucks and vans around the streets of Melbourne for the past few months to sample their delicious wares. It’s probably one of the best assignments I’ve ever set myself. These are the trucks I’ve visited so far (loads more to come!). A few…
