Food Trucks: Dispatches and Recipes from the Best Kitchens on Wheels

This kindlebook of Food Trucks; Dispatches and Recipes From The Best Kitchens on Wheels by Heather Shouse contains an abundance of details regarding food trucks across America. For instance, details are shared such as; the National Restaurant Association Convention now has a section of the showroom floor dedicated to food trucks, why the author chose locations with a high concentration of street food, Los Angeles and New York have an abundance of food truck options, the author’s taco truck start guide via Los Angeles California, braised lamb cheeks sandwich recipe idea, beef empanadas recipe, and more. Other details included such as a recipe for Macky’s Garlic Butter Shrimp plate (representing Hawaii), bacon jam recipe that appears to originate from a food truck business owner in Seattle Washington, Potato champion food truck in Portland Oregon, blackberry lavender ice pops recipe, heavenly hash recipe from Gourdough’s in Texas, Gastropod food truck in Miami Florida, Yellow Submarine Food Truck in Miami Florida, Angela’s Chocolate Pudding and Cookies Recipe, Fojol Bros of Merlindia Washington DC, Fresh Local Food truck Portsmouth New Hampshire, some recipe titled Josh’s Smooth & Smoky Mac & Cheese from the New Hampshire section, and more.

This book has a lot of good varieties of food trucks mentioned in it. However the book has more mentions about the biography of the people in the food truck and what is in them. Not an ideal recipe book but it does help you find the food trucks and what kinds of food truck. A must read if you want to know what states have what food trucks. This book mainly features food trucks in the United states. Although it doesnot mention every single food truck thisbook is a good start for you if you are a foodie seeking out that street food out there.

I loved the idea of this book. If there were more recipes, this rating would be different. Some of the most interesting food out there can be purchased off trucks, and oh what a following! This book describes specific operators by city. It would be more timely, if it were a blog. If there were more recipes, it would have more value. I have no doubt that some of these trucks are already gone, and new interesting ones are cruising their old neighborhoods. Find a food truck blog instead. The few recipes included in this book aren't worth it. I feel pso strongly that this compelled me to write my first review. Apologies to the author, but blogging might be the better medium for this topic.

The book has a nice design and a great concept but didn't really deliver on it. It breaks the coverage up by area of the country and city, but the author clearly didn't look at them in subjective ways. I live in Philly and am obsessed with the gourmet food trucks here but the author basically said all we have are rusty trucks serving up hoagies. Clearly she didn't do her research. Some other good food truck cities didn't get their fair share of coverage either. If this was a comprehensive/subjective book, it would be so much better. Recipes are okay but nothing that great. I think I may actually return it as it was the more expensive and less impressive of the two food truck books I bought.

What a great piece of work this is. It make me want to travel to their locations and try for myself their expertise. I wanted the recipe for myself and will be sharing them at family functions....they will all wonder where I got this information and creations. Love it. cj
