Gourmet Eats Street Meat

It’s Street-Food Week over at Gourmet Magazine and each day they are featuring vendors from a different city. Low prices and creative dishes have contributed to the meteoric popularity of these mobile food trucks, and vendors have seen great customer response by using Twitter to share their location and daily specials.

In the Philadelphia coverage, noted Southern food expert John T. Edge explores the streets of University City, hitting trucks that are notoriously popular to students at Drexel and Penn. Partaking in mostly breakfast sandwiches, Edge enjoys the falafel and egg from A&M Halal, and eggs and broccoli rabe at Mikey D’s Grill. There’s nary a mention of salt, pepper, ketchup but a lot of love for sriracha.

It looks like the popularity of street food has finally hit the mainstream media. Of course, Gourmet couldn’t hit all the best trucks in Philadelphia. Let us know your favorites in the comments!
