There is a growing trend of portable eateries in and around Missoula, and we can't get enough. These unique food vendors are popping up around town at farmers markets, local events such as Out to Lunch and Downtown ToNight, and right outside many of your favorite local businesses. Some of the vendors have a traditional food truck setup, whereas others have transformed bikes, barbecue pits and carts into their own visions of mobile food.
Missoula's obsession with these mobile eateries isn't just about delicious food鈥攊t's about something we like to call "food truck culture." Friends and family come together to sample new cuisines, listen to live music, support local business owners and enjoy some fresh air as they dine on green lawns and riverside benches.
Food trucks are mobile, after all, so you'll have to do some exploring. Here are some of Missoula's favorite mobile eateries to watch out for:
