Foodiest Food Truck Ever: Skillet Street Food

With fewer people eating out, food prices soaring and credit drying up, restaurateurs are being forced to make tough choices these days, like deciding between stocking the high-class ingredients the foodie revolution has diners demanding or paying the rent.

Seattle's Skillet Street Food has elected to keep the former and drop the later.

Instead of plunking down the cash for a restaurant space, Skillet's owners operate out of a retrofitted Airstream trailer that has become Seattle's most happening lunchtime eatery, drawing lengthy lines for their very reasonably priced burgers, fries and grilled cheese.

The catch? The burger is grilled Kobe beef topped with cambazola cheese, bacon jam and arugula; the grilled cheese is gouda, Kurobota ham and pesto on rosemary bread; and the fries are poutine, the French Canadian specialty of hand-cut fries topped with white cheddar cheese, herbs and gravy.
