Meals on Wheels
Mobile dining is making its way to D-town (and Boulder)! Among the new fleet of delicious drivable kitchens are Comida, Biscuits, Denver Cupcake, a mobile Steuben’s and StrEat Chefs (to be let out of the garage soon).
Less mobile, but more predictable in location are our beloved fine fare food carts like Thai Cart, the Gastro Cart, Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs and Pinche Tacos.
Comida: Rayme Rossello, who brought us Proto’s, Mateo and Radda, has a new project: a big pink truck dishing out Mexican feasts in neighborhoods around Boulder. Comida took to the road on May 17, and Rosello donates 1 percent of its sales to projects aimed at feeding the hungry. Find Comida at www.eatcomida.com.
The Denver Cupcake Truck: Cake Crumbs Bakery went mobile in April, delivering Denver’s dessert fiends their fix in the form of cupcakes with flavors like Rockin’ Red Velvet, Vanilla Party and Chocolate Lemon. Owner Denon Moore and her husband, Sean, offer incentives to Twitter followers, including parties and T-shirts. Find the cupcake truck at www.cake-crumbs.com.
The Biscuit Bus: May 1 saw the debut of the Biscuit Bus, the frisky vehicular counterpart to a breakfast joint inside the
Atomic Cowboy. A limited line of morning offerings is available from the truck, including the Franklin, a mix of fried chicken, bacon, cheese and gravy, and the Jack Lee, which pairs bacon with grape jelly; it’s already become a consist
ant presence at the farmers’ markets in Cherry Creek and Stapleton. Find the Biscuit Bus at www.denbisco.com.
Steuben’s: Serves Steuben’s staples like “Steuby Snacks”, gravy fries, lobster roll and fried pork in cones plus cubanos, happy hour… Is “Pearl” still frequenting Civic Park? Get Twitter updates and Facebook. www.steubens.com/truck.htm.
StrEat Che
fs: Chef Hosea Rosenburg was the executive chef at Jax Fish House in Boulder when he won Top Chef in its fifth season. Now he’s jumped on the mobile-dining trend, with plans to hawk global street food — everything from banh mi to grilled cheese — from a tricked-out Airstream trailer slated to hit the streets this month.
