Favorite Philly Food Truck Round-Up

The sun is shining bright, the weather is warmer, and it’s finally summer. It’s is the perfect time to kick back and relax with your friends and family, have a few drinks, and most importantly, EAT! In Philly, we have endless options when it comes to places to eat and what kind of foods we want. Here at Philly PR Girl, we know good food, especially when it comes to food trucks. Food trucks can be found in abundance all over the city, but if you’re like us, you definitely have your favorites. Have you tried any of these top contenders?

Jerry’s Kitchen Food Truck | Facebook | Twitter

IMG_6300Scott and his crew know how to run a good business and, more importantly, know how to make some good food! Recently, we tried Jerry’s Signature Chicken Fingers and Popcorn Cauliflower and our lives (and taste buds) were changed forever! Although these items were featured on the catering menu, there are a number of delicious options on their street menu. The best part about Jerry’s Kitchen? They are vegetarian and vegan-friendly! You can get anything from tofu scramble to black bean-wa burgers. Jerry’s Kitchen is not to miss!

There is nothing better than BBQ in the summer, and the perfect place to get your BBQ fix is at Mary the Queen of Pork! From her staff to her food, you couldn’t find a better value in street fare. We’ll obviously recommend trying their classic pulled pork BBQ sandwich. Mary tells us that she spent years trying to make the perfect BBQ sauce. We’re here to say that she definitely found it! Mary the Queen of Pork’s truck can be found roaming around Burlington, NJ.

Anyone who is a pizza lover knows that finding the perfect slice is hard. We wouldn’t be so bold as to call Pitruco’s wood-fired pizza perfect – but we are saying it’s near close! Jonah and his team do an awesome job both in the truck and online in marketing their delectable pies. You can find Pitruco Pizza all over Philly and by following their Twitter, you can see where they are day-to-day! We recommend trying their Margarita pizza and washing it down with a San Pellegrino.

 

Prime Stache | Facebook | Twitter

If you haven’t been to Prime Stache yet, you’re missing out! Their mainstay restaurant and bar is located in Old City and owned by Eagles tight end Brent Celek. At this celebrity-run spot, the fare is hearty, flavorful, and seriously impressive. Whether you visit the restaurant or truck, we definitely recommend their signature Ron Burgundy sandwich, made with pulled pork, roast pork, pork belly, apple cider barbecue sauce, white cheddar cheese, and “Stache slaw”.

The Cow and the Curd is a definitely must-have this summer, if not all year round. Their battered fried cheese curds are out of this world! The cheese curd is to Midwesterners what the cheesteak is to Philadelphians: a dietary staple and delicious anytime. A previous winner of the “Philadelaphia’s Best Food Truck” title from Best of Philly Awards, it isn’t hard to see why locals fawn over this cart.

If you love tots (and who doesn’t?), this is the cart for you. Build your own tots, opt for the fan favorite with Drunk Cheese, or enjoy them plain and served piping hot. The Tot Cart offers a variety of tater tots to pair with a selection of various toppings, including spices, meats, condiments, and more. Owner Julie Crist had the right idea five years ago to open a cart dedicated to the art of the tot! For hours and locations, be sure to give them a like and a follow!
