Foolish Waffles

Foolish Waffles

Foolish Waffles lives up to its name by selling, well, waffles, but unlike the usual syrupy breakfast variety, this food cart offers many different flavors, like sweet caramel apple crisp, PB & J, savory fried chicken and waffles, and tofu banh mi. For those who prefer a traditional waffle, Foolish Waffles also has a ‘create your own waffle’ option with Belgian sugar waffles and your choice of sweet topping. For information on Foolish Waffles, their location and events, follow their Twitter @FoolishWaffles.

The Tot Cart

The Tot Cart

The bite-sized, crispy potato treat has been reinvented and delivered at the roving Tot Cart. While the original tot can still be found here, the Tot Cart offers a wide variety of flavors, such as chicken pot pie, ‘new bay’ with parmesan, a twist on the popular old bay french fries, and the delicious, satisfying totchos – tater tot nachos! With so many choices in toppings and specials, customers will never get bored. Check out their Twitter, @TheTotCart, for updates on their location.

Cheese Curds

The Cow and the Curd

Bringing a taste of the Midwest to the East Coast, The Cow and the Curd brings Wisconsin-style cheese curds to Philadelphia. Cheese curds are cheese in its natural state that are then fried in beer batter, creating a crunchy exterior with a gooey center. These crave worthy cheese bites are great with one of their housemade dips (like sriracha mayo or smoked ketchups) and a cold beer. For information on the location and events of The Cow and the Curd, check out their Twitter, @cowandthecurd.
