Food Culture

We've seen food trucks become quite the place to satisfy your munchies — anytime, anywhere — and the movement keeps getting better. Ice cream and tacos now seem typical compared to some of the worldly bites these trucks have come to be known for. Curious to know exactly what lies beyond our local favorites, we took to Instagram to unveil the possibilities. One really can find anything the heart desires, from crème brûlée to lobster. Here are a few unexpected favorites we hope to see rolling through our town someday soon.

PS Have a favorite food truck you can't stop obsessing over? Snap a pic and share it by tagging your photos #savorysight and following @POPSUGARFood on Instagram. Your contributions may even end up featured here.

The Great Gatsby is out in theaters this Friday, but we were able to sneak into an early screening, and as expected, the film is full of glam, glitter, and bootlegged beverages. These five cocktails, as seen in the film, are guaranteed to help you party just as Jay Gatsby would.

It wasn't too long ago that wedding food options were limited to beef, chicken, or fish with a champagne toast and frosted white cake to follow. Of course, with infinitely creative couples finding new ways to set their celebrations apart, there's no longer a set formula to the American wedding menu. Drawing upon traditions from other world cultures, couples can honor their diverse backgrounds or create new traditions that define them as a pair. We've rounded up several customs worthy of consideration for your unique nuptials!

Nowruz, the Persian New Year, kicked off last week, and we want to honor the big celebration the best way we know how — with food. Here, get the scoop on dishes that are popular both in Iran and here in the US, because you might be familiar with kebabs, but have you ever heard of fesenjoon or baghali polo? We have a feeling once you click through, you'll want to make the flavor-packed meals in your own kitchen — because if there's one word that does not describe Persian food, it's boring.

It there's one star of the Passover celebration, it just might be the ceremonious Seder dinner. Filled with food and rich in history, the ritual meal features a special Seder plate with symbolic foods — from bitter herbs to lamb shank, there's a special meaning behind each selection. Read on for a guide to the perfect Passover plate.

Forget clovers or kisses — St. Paddy's day just wouldn't be the same without Guinness. The Irish stout has been a longtime symbol of the celebration, and for good reason. No doubt part of that has to do with its clever, amusing, and memorable ads, many of which are just as famous as the brew itself. The company's major campaigns didn't kick off until the 1930s but have been going strong ever since. In honor of the holiday, we've rounded up some of our favorites. Take a look, and pick up a pint!

National Cherry Pie Day is today, and even if the date didn't make it onto your calendars, we'll bet the dessert has made it onto your radar. That's because aside from being a delicious treat, the all-American favorite has popped up in pop culture for at least the past century. Celebrate by joining us in reliving songs, nursery rhymes, TV shows, and more that feature the sweet snack — perhaps while baking the pie even?
