On every street, around every corner, at every major intersection and along every highway, food from all corners of the world and for all diverse palates can be found.
Delicious dishes are sought-after on a daily basis, and people are gravitating toward alternative means of food service instead of the common sit-down restaurant. What used to be thought of as stepping stones to opening one’s own restaurant is now taking the food community by storm—food trucks. From ethnic dishes to cupcakes, fusion menus to ice cream innovations, and gourmet coffee to the comfort of home cooking, the spectrum of flavors, dietary specialties and ever-evolving creativity of chefs will more than please food aficionados!
People love this option because of the amazing variety and novelty of foods offered; the fact that they are incredibly affordable and often healthier than more expensive, unhealthy options; the convenience in their locations as people street surf for their next bite; and the communities they create and facilitate by being authentic and unique.
Naples’ food truck industry is already firmly established and is growing quickly, so if this is a trend you haven’t yet joined, October seems to be the perfect month to delight yourself and your taste buds!
