FOOD TRUCKS<br />
Food trucks burst onto Vancouver’s culinary scene in 2010, thanks to a change in city<br />

the city, serving everything from Belgian waffles to Filipino fusion. Vancouver’s street food<br />
scene prides itself on being one of the world’s most eco-friendly, thanks to a focus on using<br />
compostable and biodegradable packaging and cutlery and sourcing regionally grown,<br />
locally produced, organic, sustainable, and fair-trade items. To track down your new favorite<br />
