Urban Food Fest launches on February 28 in the Euro Car Parks opposite the Deansgate pub, following a pattern established in London’s Shoreditch.
Free, it will feature 15 different street food trucks and stalls serving ‘gourmet global street food dishes’ plus premium drinks bars. It should be quite a magnet for transport geeks – expect converted horse-boxes, 60s French Citroen H vans, caravans, pick-up trucks, Italian Piaggios, Thai tuk-tuks and US ambulances. Food on offer is expected to include British pork sliders, Venezuelan grilled chicken and black bean arepas, Italian ham and basil wood fired pizza, Mexican BBQ beef & hot sauce burritos, Middle Eastern falafel wraps, Spanish chorizo & chicken paella, chipotle chilli venison & slaw, tofu hot dogs with jalapeños & melted red cheese, Peruvian choripán with chimichurri and Greek lamb souvlaki with halloumi & charred red pepper.
