@Ron – You can find a lot of them on Twitter. I would start with Streetza Pizza which is available at twitter.com/streetzapizza

Does anyone know how to contact some of the street food vendors? I have a suggested location for someone to visit, I think it would be benificial to the vendor and the folks at the location, currently their food source is limited.

I am so very excited to see these vendors making their way around Milwaukee. I too have been jealous of the countries and cities that I have visited that had this as a viable option for a meal on the run. I recently saw a crepe vendor in the Thidr Ward for Gallery Night. Do you have any info on them?

@Tholkie Yup Frank is still out selling his Pepperoni and Cannoli, though I haven’t seen him in sometime.

Slightly different concept, but is Pepperoni Cannoli still roaming around? That guy was the epitome of urban street food in my opinion!

@Doug G What’s important is that recently the number and variety of street vendors has changed in Milwaukee, for the better. I hope this trend continues.

Your spot on about great cities and street food. Watch any of those travel/food shows and its hard to not become jealous of what cities in Asia or Latin America offer in the food department.

Nice seeing it catch on here in Milwaukee (at least away the Southside)–offering more than just hot dogs.

@Jim I’ve heard much about the South Side vendors, and definitely want to get out and try a few out, sounds excellent…

Sidewalk dining is daily in the south side. Our soon-to-be-famous taco trucks in particular add much to the Milwaukee street flavor. Two favorites are the Damiani’s Taqueria truck which parks at the corner of W Lincoln Ave and S 10th Street every day at 11 am and Taqueria Arandas which parks at S 7th St and W Becher. Visiting a taco truck for the first time is intimidating to most gringos, but the experience is inextricably linked to the urbanity of Milwaukee’s south side. The frequency of popsicle and corn fruit carts similarly cannot be omitted from the sidewalk dining scene. These vendors may seem lackadaisical, even surly, though their fares (fresh fruit juice popsicles and corn on the cob covered in mayo and chili powder) build the uniqueness of our dining identiy, to say the least.
