Five gourmet Toronto food trucks that have us compulsively checking Twitter
1. Blue Donkey Streatery
Mississauga’s first food truck serves classic Greek-Canadian food, like greasy and delicious chicken gyros on a warm pita, stuffed with tomato, onion, tzatziki and, thank Hellas, hot French fries. @bluedonkeytruck
2. El Gastronomo Vagabundo
Adam Hynam-Smith and fiancée Tamara Jensen sell a killer cod taco with smoked pineapple sauce, topped with coconut sour cream. It nabbed the top prize at the inaugural Awestruck food truck awards. @elgastronomo
3. Hogtown Smoke
It’s no wonder Hogtown Smoke draws huge lines—the heady hickory fumes from its smoker encircle two blocks. Each luscious sandwich comes piled with brisket, pulled pork or tequila chicken. Order sides of cornbread and slaw to cut through the rich, sticky-sweet meat. @hogtownsmoke
4. Buster’s Sea Cove
An offshoot of the St. Lawrence Market fish fry, this truck serves an excellent Nova Scotia–style lobster roll. The chunks of claw are tossed with mayo, celery, chives and lemon juice, then stuffed into a top-loader bun. It comes with a pickle and a bag of Miss Vickie’s chips. @bustersseacove
5. Gourmet Gringos
Krystian Catala, whose great-grandma taught him to make Argentine empanadas by hand, teamed up with his best friend, Terry Nicolaou, for Gourmet Gringos. They fold their pockets, stuffed with beef, onion and egg, just like she used to, and serve a mean Baja fish taco, too. @GourmetGringos
