The hallmark definition of casual eating in Chicago is food trucks. A wonderful sight after a long day of work, as I exit the Brown Line. I usually follow the food trucks on Facebook or Twitter but it’s a wonderful surprise when I haven’t had a chance to look at their schedules.
Here are a few of my favs…
Fido To Go for my bulldog Sydney
Sweet Ride Cupcakes
Hippie Urbanites 
The only food trucks I’ve seen are for cupcakes! I didn’t think people even liked cupcakes. Like when you’re in 3rd grade at your kid neighbor’s birthday party and they got a cake and some cupcakes goin on at the food table, everyone goes for the cake but never the cupcakes. That is my 5-second rant about Chicago food trucks.
