Named the best food truck in Vermont in 2022 by alt-weekly Seven Days, Farmers and Foragers was founded on the belief that the highest quality food comes from ingredients grown in a sustainable environment. This mission of serving locally-sourced food results in a menu that features pork belly banh mi, lake perch tacos, and Kimchi hot dogs. A full drink menu includes a host of cocktails and local, craft brews. Find them over the course of the summer located dockside at the Burlington Harbor marina. vtfarmersandforagers.com
You might recognize owner Jess Moran, a former news and sports reporter in Boston. After 15 years of telling stories from the sidelines, Moran shifted gears in 2021 began telling her own. The menu is simple; You have the options of lobster rolls, grilled cheese, lobster grilled cheese, and clam chowder to choose from. You can order a hot dog too, if you really have to. But why? The Lobster Roller is based in Gloucester and will also be traveling to an event near you this summer. Check web site for a full schedule of where to catch it. thelobsterroller.com
The “fatty,” in this case, is an enormous burrito, the signature item at this food truck/restaurant located a stone’s throw from Sugarloaf. The truck in question is a 1974 Airstream Argosy that owners Rob and Polly MacMichael restored prior to opening for business. These days, the truck is parked in the back of the Rolling Fatties restaurant, part of summer outdoor space the MacMichaels and friends call the #snikibar.” As for the “fatties,” they start at only $7. The “Freedom Fatty” ($14.50 burrito, $16.50 bowl) is the most expensive item on the menu and consists of the “roller’s choice of anything in the kitchen.” It’s probably worth the risk. rollingfatties.com
This food truck, an offshoot of the popular Trucking Tacos, has little else but hot dogs and fries on the menu. Like you need more. Fries and hot dogs can come “loaded” with your choice of chili cheese, Buffalo chicken with ranch dressing, or chicken bacon ranch. For the unadventurous, plan fries are only $6; a single hot dog only $4. For those looking for a little poutine before grabbing a some fried dough for dessert, this might be the place for you.

The brainchild of two former employees of Smugglers’ Notch, the Waffle Wagon, serving out of a 1970s-era Winnebago, is all about making sure customers understand that the waffle is more than a breakfast food. Indeed, the Waffle Wagon makes it their mission to use the food in a variety of different ways, both savory (the Wafflewich breakfast sandwich and the Monte Cristo, each served, of course, between two waffles) and sweet (the Milk Dud is a dessert waffle covered in caramel and chocolate sauce with whip cream). Ingredients come directly from Vermont companies like King Arthur Baking Company and Butternut Farms. wafflewagonvt.com
