By now, food trucks are a mainstream phenomenon, one igniting cravings countrywide. Offering a tasty reason for a themed vacation, some cities takeportable vittles to new heights.<\/p>\n

In Los Angeles<\/a>, culturally diverse meals on wheels are at every turn. Start with piping hot fried chicken, vinegar slaw and lavender biscuits from LudoTruck<\/a>. Or, kick things off with a wet burrito and Korean short rib tacos from Kogi BBQ<\/a>, a taste of New Orleans from Ragin Cajun On Wheels<\/a> or Los Saigon<\/a>\u2019s venerable banh mi.<\/p>\n

When you find yourself in San Francisco<\/a>, bao (steamed buns) from The Chairman Truck<\/a> are a must. Then again, you don\u2019t want to miss the miso-coconut-braised pork belly koJa from KoJa Kitchen<\/a>, either\u2014it\u2019s slathered with garlic aioli and tucked into a toasted garlic rice bun. Craving tacos? Get your fix with the carne asada and al pastor from El Tonayense Taco Truck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, New York<\/a> boasts an impressive array of roving edibles, too. If you\u2019re vegan, make your first stop The Cinnamon Snail<\/a>, a go-to for beer-simmered ancho seitan burgers and cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e doughnuts. But if falafel is your thing, hightail it to the Taim Mobile Falafel & Smoothie Truck<\/a>, an ultra-fresh option for Middle Eastern sammies and lemon-mint dressed Israeli salad.<\/p>\n

Not to be overlooked is Portland<\/a>\u2019s rich food truck and food cart culture. Among the endless options is chicken rice from Nong’s Khao Man Gai<\/a>, Viking Soul Food<\/a>\u2019s savory, griddle-baked lefse and Whiffies<\/a>\u2019 incomparable apple pie.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
