Pop up food trucks in Adelaide

Adelaide has a really strong 'food truck' culture, encouraged by the Adelaide City Council – on any weekday you will usually find one or more parked in the CBD squares (check social media for daily locations).

Here's a few suggestions:
The Fork in the Road events held regularly in parks around town.

Sneaky Pickle, Low & Slow, Archie the Pastizzi Bus and Delectaballs.

Hindmarsh Square food truck

Burger Theory food truck

Burgers from Burger Theory food truck include:

Burger No. 1 is served on a Breadtop bun; the buns have that sweetness to them that shouldn't work, but totally does. There's the Coorong Angus Beef patty, cooked medium, iceberg lettuce, tomato, American cheese, and the tasty truck sauce. On paper it sounds like a regular burger, but there's something about the combination of flavours that really goes off in your mouth. It's the safe option, but thankfully it's not any less tasty than Burger No. 2.

Burger No. 2: same meat, same bun. On top of this you've got crispy pancetta, onion confit, and Adelaide Blue cheese sauce. This is the fancy burger, and it'll set you back an extra $2. You're really torn between savouring the flavours and demolishing the burger in three swift bites. When you're given these two choices it's quite tempting to have a showdown, order both and see which one wins. Unfortunately even after you've eaten your fill of both burgers, there's still no clear winner.

Manu from Veggie Velo offers a healthy vegetarian alternative.

"I went into the city specially to get one of these burgers and after a little bit of a wait it didn't disappoint. It was huge, healthy and most importantly delicious. I got the organic quinoa and amaranth option. It came served in a wholemeal bun with mixed salad, grated carrot and beetroot, alfalfa. It was vegan but did contain sesame seeds, onion and gluten. If you want to know exactly what's in that patty: Organic Quinoa and Organic Amaranth, celery, onion, roots veg, capsicum zucchini, cumin and coriander powder and a touch of chili and Gram flour, so the patty itself is gluten free, and he's trying out different gluten free rolls too. All burgers and salads are served with onion jam (vegan GF) avocado salsa (vegan GF) and sweet chilli Mayo (vegan, GF). All this info and more is available on the Facebook page"
