Chili chicken quesadillas from a Korean-Mexican Kogi truck.
While the food truck fad continues to bring everything from Korean barbecue to Belgian waffles to eaters hungry for a quick bite, many popular trucks across the country have decided it's time to settle down and open up a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Here's a look at some trucks that have decided to go the stationary route.
After opening its permanent restaurant in Brooklyn in June 2009, New York City's beloved Cal-Mex street cart Calexico Carne Asada wasted no time in being named a 2010 Reader's Choice Award Winner by Time Out New York. Those in Jersey who are craving some Mexican street food can get their fix starting today when The Taco Truck of the Hoboken/Jersey City area debuts its permanent restaurant on Newark Street in Hoboken, a short PATH train ride from Lower Manhattan.
On the west coast, fusion cuisine food trucks have become an LA favorite. Roy Choi, owner of the famed Korean-Mexican Kogi trucks, established a permanent home for his cuisine at The Alibi Room. The Culver City restaurant, bar and lounge serves up tasty dishes such as kimchi sesame quesadillas and vegan sesame leaf tacos.
Dessert trucks are setting up shop too. Spoil yourself with Cupcake Stop's inventive cupcakes (the flavors range from chocolate red wine to mango poppy), which are still available at trucks in New York City and are newly available at Limelight Marketplace, or indulge in treats like honey rosemary ice cream at Dessert Truck Works' permanent pastry cafe on New York's Lower East Side.
Just needed to thank you heaps for this helpful page. I have already bookmarked your site, and when I have more free time I am going to have to do some further browsing here. Well back to day dreaming of Austria - or back to the work books - I wonder which one is going to win out.
