Gourmet lunch trucks continue on Wednesdays in Long Beach

Gourmet food trucks will continue to operate Wednesdays from 11:00 am to 2:30 pm 1342 Coronado Ave. just off Anaheim St.

Kut-N'-Sow and Tropical Shave Ice will be returning this week as well as The Greasy Wiener.

This week, look out for Crepe'n Around, a food truck run by sisters Joann and Eileen DeLeoz. They serve savory crepes such as Maple Glazed Pork and Ham and Brie as well as sweet crepes such as Strawberries and Creme and S'more. This gives crepe fans a choice of having their entree, their dessert, or both from Crepe'n Around.

Also appearing this week is Global Soul. They describe their food as for the soul because it is comforting and rich with flavors inspired from food all over the world.

The India Jones Chow Truck will also be selling their version of Indian street food.

Gourmet lunch trucks are one of the hottest trends in food service these days. Professional chefs who could not raise the money to open a stationary restaurant are frequently the owners of theses epicurean meals on wheels. It is good arrangement for both the owners and the consumers. The trucks cost less to run than a restaurant therefore they can charge less tor their foods. Consumers benefit from the lower prices, but they also have a chance to experience foods they might never have encountered before.
