A different kind of revolution: Food trucks!

Ice cream trucks aren’t the only trucks that hit streets this summer. Making a debut appearance at the Calgary Food Truck Festival on Aug 11, six food trucks emerged onto Calgary’s street-side food scene. Each food truck features a unique culinary delight from all of the others, ranging from perogies to gelato. That day was the only time all of the food trucks appeared together, though. Each truck operates independently, choosing a new location in the city every time it goes out. The only way to track one down is by following @yycfoodtrucks or each truck’s individual account on Twitter.

Food trucks are vital in the city’s efforts to revitalize streets in downtown, bring people together and foster the feeling of community. All the while, the trucks are also key players in the revolution to defy prejudices against street-side food, while bringing gourmet flavor and high quality ingredients.

A definite highlight of summer 2011. Here is a rundown of the Calgary Food Trucks.
