Recently in Australia, as festivals and pop-up events have grown in popularity, the gourmet food truck revolution has boomed. In 2017 Melbourne City Council recognised the demand and has since set up sixteen dedicated food truck sites across the city, eight permanent and eight rotational.

Recently, the creators of one of Melbourne’s older food trucks, Mr Burger, have transformed an old garage into a food truck park and beer garden called Welcome to Thornbury. Every month they have over eighty food trucks rotating on a daily basis, with five to seven on site at any one time. You can find it at 520 High Street in Northcote, and it is open Wednesday to Friday from 5 pm until late and from 12 pm until late on Saturday and Sunday.

Meet the chefs innovating street food through new flavour combinations inspired by heritage, travel and local ingredients. Around the World in 80 Food Trucks is a creative culinary tour exploring the worldwide gourmet food truck phenomenon.

Once a ubiquitous site rolling through the streets of Melbourne city, the infamous Tramcar Restaurant is no longer. You and your unlimited-booze-on-wheels will be missed!

This is hardly a traditional sushi recipe. In fact, it’s barely a recipe at all—it’s more of a guide. The trick to a perfect sushi bowl is to balance contrasting flavours and textures — sweet, umami, crunchy, and silky. An ideal summer dinner or quick lunch.

Join Alice as she explores the phenomenon of the sushi train—from its early days as an affordable dining option in Japan through to the many and varied restaurants spread across the city of Melbourne.
