Virtual Food Spotting

28 June 2011: As upscale food trucks proliferate, websites and apps are popping up to keep track of the growth. Though many food trucks take to Twitter to broadcast their offerings and locations, websites that aggregate all of a city’s options are a source of relief to food lovers.
An example of a user-friendly map-based website, and soon-to-be mobile app, is The strEATS, which exclusively serves the area of Washington D.C., USA. Created after its founders, Randy Shore and Dan Preiss, were tired of sorting through Twitter pages to find the location of good truck food, the website maps out the current locations of the city’s favorite food trucks in one place. As food trucks were so hard to locate and mobile, strEATS was exactly the necessary creation to put mobile food on a map.
There are other several smart phone apps to help you monitor the latest in truck cuisine. The Food Trucks Map app is one of the standouts because it shows users which trucks are near their current location using their smart phone’s GPS.
