2. Via 313 (Austin, TX)
Where to find it: 61 Rainey St
(behind Craft Pride) and 1111 East
6th (in front of Violet Crown Social
Club).
The best thing to come out of old
Detroit since Robocop, Via 313
dishes out square, MoTown-style
pies. The crust is thick and fluffy,
and the cheese gets a mouth-
wateringly caramelized crust. Go with
the the Detroiter, and you get all
that plus two types of pepperoni
3. • Where to find it: Roaming
around Flatiron, SoHo, Fidi,
Midtown, and Dumbo, so just make
life easier and use their truck
finder.
• This Korean caravan is all about the
options, and ordering can be like a
choose-your-own-adventure story
where you end up taking a nap
instead of trapped in a haunted
cave. You choose your vessel (wrap
or bowl), type of rice (definitely go
for the bacon kimchi), and protein
(get bulgogi or spicy pork), then get
a bag of pure, free-will
deliciousness. They also have a wide
selection of pickled and regular
veggies, along with a whole slew of
hot sauces.
4. • Where to find it: Easily keep up with
their travels on their site.
• Inspired by original Asian street food,
these buns are way more satisfying
than Greg Smithey's, and considerably
less creepy. Any will be the right
choice, from the Coca-Cola braised
pork with cabbage to the spicy chicken
with toasted sesame puree. Buns come
steamed and baked, so you can choose
what you most want to Mao down.
5. • Where to find it: Often at Franklin
Park, but a slew of other spots too,
which you can find over here.
• Hailing from the far-off, fictional lands
of Merlindia and Benthiopia, the bros
bust out a fantastical take on Ethiopian
cuisine, with dishes to be eaten two
different ways. If you're in the mood
for Merlindia, everything's over basmati
rice, so get down with some buttered
chicken.
6. • Where to find it: Usually in
the Wynwood neighborhood,
but stay in the loop here.
• Operating out of a customized
1962 Airstream, gastroPod
has an ever-evolving and
inventive menu, cooking up
things like lamb-fennel
sausage sliders with goat
cheese, and burgers with
brisket, short rib, and sirloin
patties. Give the Old Dirt
Dawg a go, since you're not
going to come across a fondue,
mustard seed, and slaw-
topped hot dog too often.
Unless you live in Wynwood.
7. • Where To Find: BDA Complex,
Domlur, Bangalore

‘India’s first food truck serving
authentic American curbside
gourmet.’ Plus, SWAT stands for
‘Serving With A Twist’ – how cool
is that? This particular food truck
is all about burgers, deep fried
Oreos, corn dogs and nachos. Try

after eating them, you will never
ask for anything else.

wraps paired with soft
beverages. The food is

safety guidelines. You think you

9. • Where To Find: All over
Bangalore
• The chicest food truck in
Bangalore so far! I mean... just
look at it, isn’t she cute? And
the good thing is it has the

11. • Where To Find: Richards Park,

array of tarts and steaks on the
go. Our mouth is watering just
writing about it!
