Ontario's first food truck rally was a huge success. Food writer Suresh Doss rounded up some fabulous food trucks at Toronto's Distillery District on July 2nd for Food Truck Eats - Part 1. The huge crowd was able to feast on tacos, cupcakes, grilled cheese, wood fired pizza, wings, porchetta sandwiches, kulfi, churros, and many more.
There were trucks from:
El Gastronomo Vagabundo The Cupcake Diner Gorilla Cheese Bonfire Catering Steamwhistle Brewery
There were other food vendors as well:
Cava Marben Simple Fish and Chips Buster Rhino's Southern BBQ Augie's Gourmet Ice Pops Baker Street Bakery Distillery District Restaurant Group Tiffin Day Geoffrey Hopgood Rossy Earle Joshna Maharaj
This event was part 1 of 3, so look forward to a couple more chances to relish great food outdoors.

On an imported slab of heat-retention stone from Australia, you cook your own meal. Looks like fun! However it might be more about the experience than anything else - we heard some not-so-good reviews from a friend recently. We'll try anything once though!
¤Kultura (King East - Furniture District) Heard a lot about Roger Mooking's restaurants - think we're more obsessed with going there because of the fact that he used to be in Bass is Base!
¤ Cafe Gilead (King East - Furniture District) Jamie Kennedy's stuff is usually pretty good so we want to try it. ¤ Guu (Church St - The Gaybourhood) This place is trendy, so some people go there for that reason alone, but we'd be heading there to see what "Japanese tapas" is all about.
Follow a couple of foodies around the city as they discover the best (and worst) of what Toronto's culinary scene has to offer.
