New Gourmet Food Truck [Food/Vendor]
2012 Mar 26
Hey Paul ... My food suggestions:
Pupusas and empanadas
Pulled pork sammies (with slaw)
Schnitzel with bigos or cooked kraut
Souvlaki lamb and/or beef
Greek Gyros
Since you mention 'gourmet food', check out Spencer on the Go from San Fran.
www.spenceronthego.com
He does a braised lamb cheek sandwich for 9 bucks .. oh ya !!
And keep us posted here at Ottawa Foodies about when and where you open.
All the best on your new venture.

more food truck ideas for you Paul.
This is where I hope Ottawa goes with food trucks.
Caution:
Serious food truck porn ahead. May cause excessive drooling. Viewing not recommended on an empty stomach.

Hi Street Gourmet, my comments (from a mere consumer's perspective) would be: cook what you know really well - things that you love to eat - and forget about trends. Good food doesn't go in and out of style in my opinion.
If something is really good, people will buy it, whether it's freshly made falafels, tacos de lengua, jerk chicken roti, phad thai, cubano sandwiches, fresh chiccharron, saltcod fritters, vienna-style hot dogs, whatever. I'd personally stay away from things such as, poutine with bacon and 3 other kinds of meat with two super-rich sauces...that was a tired concept 5 years ago. Sorry to those who love their lavish poutines...
Personally, I think our culture really lacks good, healthy options for snacks that are less than 5$, but that is just my observation.
