StrEAT Food Festival

Despite cold weather, last Sunday Manayunk’s StrEAT Food Festival still went on with tons of local food trucks showing out. The annual festival is a kickoff to their restaurant week that goes until the 27th. From fresh donuts and cannolis to BBQ and pizza cones, there wasn’t a spot that couldn’t satisfy what you were craving. I got to spend some time on Main Street trying food out and these are a couple of my favorites!

Undrgrnd Donuts

No you’re not seeing an error that’s how this truck spells its name! Undrgrnd happens to be the only truck in the area that makes handmade donuts and does it well. There is no set spot, but they make sure to keep customers updated on their website. Not all of their donuts were on the menu that day, but I got to try French Toast, Fruity Banana, The Process, and my favorite The Homer. If you’re ever in the mood for a savory yet sweet treat or you just love bacon, The Homer is the way to go!

Calle Del Sabor

I’ve been to this truck more than enough times and I still couldn’t help myself. Calle Del Sabor not only has a truck, but also a store front not too far from The Filmore. It’s one of the more inexpensive choices after a night out and is worth every penny. I went with the Jerk Chicken Tacos that are topped with pineapple adding extra flavor to an already packed taco!

Cannoli World

A fun fact about this truck’s founder is that he’s former WWE pro wrestler Tom Ricca! The bakery is located in New Jersey, but they make themselves known at many local events and have won multiple awards. They offer a variety of cannolis from traditional, peanut butter fudge, and pineapple cheesecake. Quick service and a quality cannoli (with some extra sugar) make for a great experience!

If you missed out on this year’s StrEAT Festival there’s tons of food festivals in Philly to come this summer or check out Manayunk’s restaurant week ending this Friday!
