Curbside Eatery's Provide Great Food With a Side of Character

Scattered all around the city are lunch trucks of all different shapes, sizes, and colors. Most of whom offer up some of the cities most exquisite eats. Philadelphia has a number of outstanding restaurants, but these four wheeled eateries show the true personality of the city. Most do not move from their street side homes and are outfitted with generators.

One of the many lunch trucks on the campus of Temple

While I will not be taking a first date to a lunch truck, many offer a menu that will not be found anywhere else. Numerous trucks have the standard cheesesteaks and soft pretzels. However, if you examine further you will find some rare bites. For example, on Temple University's campus is The Creperie. The crowd in front of the red, white, and blue (or I should say blue, white, and red) truck is staggering, but so I here is well worth the wait.

If you work or attend school in the city, give some different trucks a try. They are quick, cheap, and not your usual meal.
