Milwaukee’s food trucks have slowly been rolling out — on the rare day this spring when the weather has cooperated — and a new truck called Simmer is due to join their ranks May 6.
There’s been a big trend emerging in southeastern Wisconsin’s food scene — the “mobile meal movement.”
The restaurant also will serve as a home base for the truck.
Quick, mobile and with an affordable menu, food trucks – clusters of them – have taken over the streets of Milwaukee.
Besides organized events around town on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, they show up at festivals, corporate events and outside bars at night.
Food and services on the go include a wide selection of food, rickshaw rides and we-come-to-you car washes.
As Milwaukee food trucks and mobile vendors proliferate, they are starting to market themselves like auto dealers. They cluster together.
Food trucks are rising in popularity here, but in Puerto Rico they’ve always part of the culture. Cheap, delicious foods are found at roadside stands all over the island.
