Getting outside is a huge perk to street food lunches, but I think the best part is the variety of foods the trucks introduce to the downtown scene. After working in Downtown Minneapolis for 15 years, the usual options have lost their spark and I’ve probably just sunk too deep into the ruts of my habits to even notice if there are better choices out there. With the trucks there is something new everyday. Not only are there so many different trucks, but most trucks change their menus regularly.Today I tried the mushroom bahn mi from World Street Kitchen for the first time and it was fabulous (and only $6)! Who would have guessed that a mushroom loaf sandwich could be so great? I have to give some credit to the fresh cilantro.
While talking with Saed today, I learned that WSK will be back in its regular location on 5th and Nicollet starting next Monday. Good news with all the sunshine and great seating options nearby.
And a tip for fans of the salted caramel ice cream sandwich: if you plan to sit in the sun for lunch, get your dessert on the way out, or maybe just eat it first! For ultimate enjoyment it needs to go straight to the mouth or straight to the freezer (if anyone actually has that kind of will power).
