| North Hills Food Truck Roundup (March 30, 2013) |
I love the North Hills. I love Pittsburgh food trucks. And I love Coffee Buddha.
Therefore, I can confidently say that my favorite new event as of late is the North Hills Food Truck Roundup at the Coffee Buddha parking lot, which is organized by my buddy James of Pgh Taco Truck and debuted in February with four participating mobile yummy food vendors: Pgh Taco Truck, BRGR Truck, Oh My Grill, and the Pierogie Truck. The first go-round generated so much buzz and was so well-attended that it is now becoming a monthly tradition. The March event attracted four additional trucks: the Fukuda Truck, the Franktuary Truck, Dozen Bake Shop Truck, and the Pittsburgh Ice Cream Truck, filling the parking lot to full capacity.
Here are some scenes from the first two roundups:

Although I haven't had a chance to try all the trucks yet, what I've had has been fabulous so far!

| Butternut Squash and Smoky Salsa Taco from Pgh Taco Truck This taco made its debut at the first roundup, for which I waited 1 hour and 45 minutes! It was well worth it, and the wait time has since improved. By the way, this photo was previously featured in this post. |
