Food truck pilot in Allan Gardens, 4 other parks

Capalansky’s truck Thundering Thelma 

It is a halting baby step but the City of Toronto has authorized the operation of a number of food trucks at five parks beginning Thursday, August. 1.  Toronto has been widely criticized for its over-management of the street food industry. Past projects have seen the City dictating menus.  The trucks will be permitted at Woodbine Park, Sherbourne Common, Roundhouse Park, Canoe Landing and Allan Gardens. Some participating truck vendors include: The Feisty Jack, Urban Smoke Fusion BBQ, Stuft Gourmet Sausages, Caplansky’s, Gourmet Gringos, Beach Boys Food Truck, The Food Dudes, Pretty Sweet Bakery, Gourmet B1tches, Bestia, Crossroads Diner, Hogtown Smoke, Choco-Churros, Tiny Tom Donuts and Localista.
