Every Tuesday at 5 PM to 9 PM in the parking lot of Whole Foods across from De Anza College, music blasts and a colorful array of trucks sport food ranging from Duck Confit to Creme Brûlée. By 5:30, the lot is packed with hungry visitors taking in the music, the wonderful aromas, and most importantly, the wide variety of food. The range of food trucks include Paddy Wagon Sliders, Eggs on Everythang, Porky’s, We Sushi, Pluck, Lobsta Truck, Capelo’s Hill Country Barbeque, The Creme Brulee Cart, and Oaxacan Kitchen Mobile. Here is a behind the scenes glimpse of a few popular food trucks.
