From seminars to tastings and everything in between, I've had a lot of fun attending this year's NYC Wine & Food Festival. But even though I loved the grand tasting and Friday night's star-studded Burger Bash, if you ask me, the best event of the weekend was Carts in the Parc, an outdoor gathering of more than a dozen food trucks that are not just a quintessential part of New York's food Read more
We spent last weekend at the San Francisco Street Food Festival and didn't walk away with too much damage to our pockets, but that could be changing. According to SFoodie, the latest event to hit San Francisco is a Street Eats Benefit Gala that'll set attendees back as much as $225. The price tag — which is awfully steep to pay for something coming out of a cart or a truck — got me thinking Read more
Since savoring some of the best street food in America over the weekend, it's been hard to shake evocative images of portable, ready-to-eat foods from my brain. While food trucks and street carts are just starting to heat up stateside, peddling food on the streets has been a longtime phenomenon across the rest of the world. From starfish to cheesy bread, check out what the globe's population Read more
This past weekend saw the third annual San Francisco Street Food Festival, a gathering of San Francisco's most sought-after street merchants, food trucks, and restaurants, organized by nonprofit incubator kitchen La Cocina. The occasion — "a celebration of vendors and entrepreneurship," according to the organization — helped increase awareness (and funds) for up-and-coming food businesses. Read more
Our recent interview with Food & Wine executive wine editor Ray Isle gave us plenty of insight into where to buy value wines, but undoubtedly the most fun part of the chat was the special lightning round we subjected him to at the end. We named five of our food-truck favorites and asked him to blurt out the first wine pairings that came to mind. Ray's best street-food drink matches: Carne Read more
A craving for Central American and Caribbean food as of late has meant I've scoured the streets of Miami for a decent cubano, as well as the colorful corners of San Francisco's Mission district for authentic Salvadoran pupusas. Think of the pupusa as a more glorious quesadilla. The people of El Salvador flatten balls of corn dough (made of masa that's been treated with an alkaline solution) into Read more

Lately, everywhere I turn, I hear something about street food. Two weeks ago, Roy Choi of Kogi was on the evening news, and Food Network premiered its new show The Great Food Truck Race. Last week, San Francisco held a Street Food Festival. And this weekend, Oakland's having one of its own. With all the buzz that Americanized street food is picking up, I figured that by now, there's a good Read more
In San Francisco, plenty of ethnic street food specialties have come to the forefront, thanks to the proliferation of food trucks. The arepa is one that's gotten a lot of recent publicity. The cornmeal flatbreads known as arepas are native to the countries of Colombia and Venezuela (although they are also found elsewhere, such as in Panama). They're made of ground corn, water, and salt, either Read more
Korean tacos are the ultimate in East-meets-West, street-food fusion. Here HeyKristen shares her experience of Namu's version. I heard a ton about these tacos (most recently in a New York Times article) but I had yet to try them. I got a chance this weekend during San Francisco's Outside Lands music festival, and was not disappointed! The tacos come with a seaweed "shell" and are filled with Read more
