Our love affair with food trucks
We love food trucks. Our readers love food trucks. Everyone loves food trucks. They are naturally greener than other restaurants and are a great alternative to traditional fast-food. Sure, they emit greenhouse gas emissions, moving from one place to the next, but in comparison to the amount of resources and energy consumed by traditional restaurants, they’re light years ahead of the game. Moreover, food trucks rely on using local produce, encouraging sustainable dining wherever they wheel.
Food Truck Frenzy comes to “the Ex”
If you’re a fan of the food truck and like partaking in family friendly fun, you won’t want to miss out on this exciting event. From August 24th- 26th, Torontonians and visitors from outside the GTA from can indulge in what is sure to be the biggest food truck rally to hit the streets of T.O.
