When the food-focused Expo Milano 2015 opens this Friday, the centerpiece of the USA Pavilion will be on wheels: six food trucks known as Food Truck Nation will showcase a sampling of regional American cuisine. “We thought it was the right way to represent what’s happening in America,” explains Mitchell Davis, Chief Creative Officer of the USA Pavilion. “They’re really entrepreneurial, reliant on social media and really show diversity in the food.” – Laurie Werner, Forbes.com
Entrepreneurial. Social. Darn tasty.
That’s what the food truck scene in Delaware is like right now. After three or four years of slowly building in number and reputation (and a long winter that’s just seen signs of a thaw), the food trucks of Delaware are ready to roll into spring.
If you’re in town on the same day as the start of Expo Milano 2015 (this Friday, May 1), enjoy the diversity of the local food scene at the Rolling Revolution Food Truck Night Market outside the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts. Food trucks of all flavors, including five of my favorites, will be on site to feed the crowds. No way I’m missing it.
But after that, you’ll find food trucks on the streets and at local events all season long in Delaware. Two major trucky hangouts: The Downtown Wilmington Farmer’s Market at Rodney Square (every Wednesday at lunchtime) and the DCCA (every Thursday at lunchtime).
