Creme Brulee Cart Prowling the Mission in San Francisco
New Yorkers may snag streetside crème brûlée from the Dessert Truck, but lucky San Francisco has a vendor dedicated solely to that sugar-crusted treat. For the last month or so, the Creme Brulee Cart has set up shop in the Mission, usually at Dolores Park, torching each $3 dessert to order. The blogger behind Hoodscope gave it a try:
Once you let him know what flavor you want, he tops it with a layer of sugar, busts out the blowtorch, and torches until it achieves the perfect crispy sugary top. Underneath that layer you can find a number of different flavors that are offered on a rotating basis.
Flavors range from classic vanilla bean to Bailey’s Irish Cream, White Russian Brûlée (in honor of The Big Lebowski), and Dark Chocolate Chambord. Where will the man show up next? Follow @cremebruleecart on Twitter to find out. He's usually near the Magic Curry Kart (@magiccurrykart), which makes for a fully balanced meal, all in one trip.

Of course they have a creme brulee street cart in San Fransisco. They would have sous vides hot dogs at Candelstick park if the machinery wasn't so complicated.

Thanks for the feature! The SF street food scene is really starting to take off, thanks in part to the efforts put forth by the Magic Curry Kart and Creme Brulee Cart. More and more people are taking food to the streets, we need more grilled meat on sticks! Check out my feature on the Magic Curry Kart for an in-depth look: http://hoodscope.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/new-school-food-peddler-the-magic-curry-kart/

Toronto needs to catch up. Only now, as a pilot program can street vendors (a limited number) sell anything other than hot dogs. The program is way behind the times. I want a dessert truck and a crème brûlée cart.

This just might be worth a plane ticket.
