Today is National Food Truck Day and we’re excited to celebrate some of our local food vendors! Milwaukee is home to a diverse collective of food entrepreneurs, crafting their specialties from a kitchen on wheels. Although food trucks can be difficult to locate, the Zocalo Food Park makes it easy for Milwaukee to enjoy a variety of cuisines. Check out the current vendors featured at Zocalo!

Dairyland

Home to Wisconsin comfort food such as cheese curds, onion rings and Friday fish fry, Dairyland is a true Wisconsin classic food truck that can satisfy any craving. Take a look at Dairyland’s menu.

Ruby’s Bagel’s

A fully female, family-run operation, Ruby’s Bagel’s proves that New York isn’t the only city that can make bagels. Freshly baked savory flavors such as poppy seed or the everything bagel are classics. Check out a list of all their bagel flavors.

Foxfire

Most known for their hot-fried chicken sandwich with variations such as the Nashville- style hot fried chicken sandwich, Foxfire also offers a handful of vegan-friendly items, such as fried Brussels sprouts and more. Look at Foxfire’s menu here.
