Very few things in life create memories as vivid and warm as sharing a special meal with our loved ones. But what if we switch your regular homemade mash potatoes dinner for an exotic, gourmet, tasty-to-pieces dish, and change your comfy living room chair for an outdoor fair, packed with colorful trucks, sweet-sounding music and a mouthwatering smell of baked goodies and savory spices? It would bring those golden memories to a whole new level of deliciousness, right? Well, we have an awesome suggestion on how to make that happen!
If you’re game, start planning your next escape to a FOOD TRUCK FESTIVAL!
Oh yeah, it’s a thing. Day-long events dedicated to celebrating (and pigging out on) local food handcrafted with love, created by hip business entrepreneurs and even put on wheels! Because you don’t need to be a Travel Channel star or a renowned food blogger to experience an ultimate dining adventure.
Food truck festivals are revolutionizing the concept of food-destination traveling, blending together scoops of creativity, passion for innovation and, of course, fresh locally sourced yummy ingredients. It’s no longer just lunch, it’s a whole gastronomic (and cultural) experience that attracts wanderers from all around North America and is turning any destination into a delicious one.
Thousands of foodies delighted their senses and satisfied even their kookiest cravings this past summer with dozens of food truck festivals happening across the U.S. But lucky you, these exciting-to-the-last-bite events are not just a summer treat.
This fall, three major festivals are taking place in the East Coast, and the menu promises way more than your typical cup of clam chowder. So, if you are hungry for adventure (or just very hungry!) Wanderu takes you to Boston, New Jersey and Portsmouth, NH to have the meal of a lifetime!
Try Asian ginger-infused fish tacos, gourmet grilled cheeses with fancy add-ons, maple, bacon, and candied fig muffins, fried yuca with wasabi guac, all one bus ride away.
So grab your friends, save your appetite, forget about the snacks and hop on a judgment-free adventure — with the sole purpose of nomming deliciously.
