Food Truck Showcase this Saturday!
Manna From Heaven: One of the many awesome but unaffiliated food trucks that will be slinging some fine fare at the Food Truck Showcase on Saturday.
We’ve got the Justice League. We love them. We’ve got the Food Truck Renegades. We love them a lot, too. But if you’ve hit the awesome parties they’ve each thrown the past couple of weeks, you might have noticed some of your favorite trucks aren’t affiliated with these bad-ass, party-throwing street food alliances. Quiero Arepas, anyone? Or my new favorite, Manna From Heaven?! Isn’t there a place where all the trucks in the whole city can just park it and feed us for a day? That’s exactly the question that Mike Levine, one of the Mikes in the Mikes2Kitchen trailer, has been asking himself. Lucky for you, he decided to do something about it.
Calling All Food Trucks!
Mike invited all the street food vendors we’ve been following here at Denver Street Food to strut their stuff, and a lot of them took him up on the offer, including some of your old favorites, and some of your favorites-to-be that you haven’t even tried yet.
This is not a party, per se. There will be no beer, no deejays. This time, folks, it’s all about the food. And maybe a little bit about that liquor store nearby and a few brown paper bags. For the record: I’m not encouraging illegal behavior. I’m just tossing around some ideas. <wink>
When: Saturday, June 11th, 11a – 4p
Where: Festival Plaza at Mile High, 3200 W Colfax (corner of Colfax and Irving, just west of Federal) | Map
Here’s a sneak peek of who you can expect to run into while you’re there – besides me of course. I’m seriously contemplating hitting them up for an early lunch (Chile Billy!) and coming back later for an early dinner and dessert (Route 40 and Cream City?!).

Me-Route 40 for sure-then who knows what the stomach will crave? I like that Stick It To Me does some “mini” types of their yummy food. Also, a side note to all, I’m bringing the big gun camera to capture more fun photos for the website. See ya Sat!
Mikes2kitchen is high on the list. mythos is awesome as well
Pat – I can’t wait to get a look at Route 40s menu. I peeked today but was distracted by the awesome green chile bowl in my hand from Rocky Mountain Chili Bowl. (INSANE!).
Brian – if you haven’t tried Mikes2, you gotta! If you have, make sure to save a little room – or bring a friend – to try a new truck! What’s your fave thing on the Mythos menu? Our newest writer, Brandi, hit them up for a lamb gyro today and was transcended! Check out her write up slated to go up tomorrow morning!
Mikes2 carnitas taco, gumbo, mac n cheese were all hits with my son & I. Fat Sully’s pizza slices are the go to food for my husband. Chef Driven Kogi Short Rib Tacos are to die for!
No Steamin’ Demon?
@Ricki – isn’t that mac n cheese to die for?! Chef Driven’s menu looks so fantastic! I was drowning in pizza and BBQ tofu (secret menu item from NZ’s!) so didn’t get a chance to try it.
@Dominica – All trucks and carts were invited, but Steamin’ Demon didn’t take ‘em up on the option. Happily, a lot of trucks now are rolling out great tasting, healthy, veg options. Taco Bar and Manna from Heaven are excelling here, IMHO!
