It’s not enough that Wallingford has some of the finest eateries here in Seattle, but we have a pretty broad spectrum, too. From New York-style hot dogs to Greek, Afghan, Mexican, Italian, French, and everything in between, I’d say we’ve got eats covered. And starting this Friday, we’ll have mobile food aplenty, located right on the Uptown Espresso parking lot. Wallingford Eats will be serving up a variety of street foods from 5-9pm. Here’s the scoop from Amy Novak:
No more standing in crazy long lines, fighting big crowds, or paying admission just to eat at ‘food truck roundups’, a number of the top street food trucks will be vending from the Uptown Espresso lot on N. 45th and Corliss starting this coming Friday evening. For this Friday, the truck lineup will be Curry Now, Barriga Llena, and BUNS – who was selected by Sunset Magazine as one of three ‘Seattle’s Burger Kings‘ as well as ‘Seattle’s Top-5‘ burgers by the Thrillist.com. In the near future, look for Street Treats, Lumpia World, Big Food, Pai’s, Fusion on the Run and Marination to join the lineup.
The trucks and Uptown Espresso are attempting to develop this into a semi-permanent street food pod to serve the Wallingford neighborhood so your support is essential for its success. So come by this Friday evening, join the debut celebration and enjoy some tasty food. Trucks will serve from 5 pm to 9 pm.
Uh, awesome.
BMW enthusiasts have a special invitation by one of the owners of Buns Gourmet Hamburgers to meet at 7:00. Check out BimmerForums for more details

Invitation:
I’ll warn ya that Buns hamburgers are not cheap, but guaranteed to be the best you have ever had. All natural, grass fed beef, we use buns made by local Seattle bakery, Grand Central Bakery. Cheese comes from Beechers in the Pike Place Market. All produce is certified organic. You will definitely taste the difference. $10 to $12 with fries, depending on what ya order.

I love this idea!!! Two friends and I tried to go to the Mobile Food Rodeo last weekend, but it turned out to be nothing but standing in one long line after another on a really crummy day, so we gave up. How cool to have a variety of trucks coming to the ‘hood!!
Is this a one time event? Every Friday? Every evening?
I can’t believe my good fortune in moving to Wallingford 6 years ago!
