Here's a great 4 part video documenting the food truck craze in the United States. Once I started watching, I couldn't stop 'till it was done...not recommended to watch on an empty stomach!

The PhyDough truck is serving up organic ice cream and cookies to lucky pups on the streets of L.A. In keeping with the city's 'people food' trucks, dog owners can find their pooch's mobile munchies on twitter. Check out this short clip:

One of the world's most famous hymns to commerce, New York's thousands of street food vendors - and the fare they sell - reflect its eclectic ethnic mix. But as we find out, life on the streets can be harsh, belying the city's rich and glamorous image.

Of all the cart’s we’ve covered on VendrTV, we’ve never made our way to a sushi cart. Until now… Sushi A-Go-Go is a fully functional sushi kitchen, tucked tightly (like sushi) into a mobile trailer. Parked in Central Austin, this trailer serves delicious, fresh sushi to locals, and is a destination for those further away. And while they have all the traditional rolls you might think of, they’re also got some crazy Maki rolls – like they’re “Texan Roll” which boasts steak as well as tempura shrimp, candied jalapenos, and mayo! Yum!

While we were shooting in NOLA we got a call about a food cart in the state’s capitol, Baton Rogue, that serves alligator po-boys. Naturally we had to take a trip out to investigate. What we happened upon was Moochie’s Mobile Munchies, a late night LSU hotspot serving gluttonous burgers, brisket chili smothered fries, and their signature po-boy complete with not just an alligator sausage, but piled high will pulled pork. These things were massive. So massive, that a competition was called for. Check out the episode to see who won!

The Manila Machine Filipino food truck is the brain child of L.A. food bloggers Marvin Gapultos and Nastassia Johnson. It boasts what just might be the funkiest theme song ever to accompany a food truck!

It looks like the food cart craze is catching on in Britain. The awards are the brainchild of food journalist and television personality, Richard Johnson.

The best street food is cheap and fresh. Unlike a lot of restaurant food, which is expensive and left standing on a hot-plate until some sniffy waiter deigns to pick it up and bring it to your table. And street food is all about offering the kind of food that the British people actually want to eat. Restaurants still seem to be hung up on some received notion of what constitutes ‘good food’. On the street isn’t the place for that kind of snobbery. There are some real food heroes, out there working the streets of Britain. The best are specialists – they do a few dishes, and they do them very well. Their menu-not-so-fixe can change at a whim according to what looks good at the market that day. Which means that it’s seasonal and local. And they know that, if they ever let their standards slip, the public will just go to the mobiler next door. Only the strongest survive. Which is great news, now that the street is our dining room.

Here are two mouth-watering videos about the awards and the emerging British street food scene.

I found this incredible series on street food around the world on the Al Jazeera English edition of all places. We'll start with an episode on street food in Beijing.

China's economy is expanding at an astounding rate - but its waistlines are too.The food of the streets tells the story of a culture torn between tradition and modernity, the customs of an ancient past competing with the convenience age of the new. What will survive and what will be lost? In a China which has gone within two generations from mass starvation to mass obesity, what does the future hold?
