When street trucks stormed the sidewalks of L'Ancienne-Lorette

Slingers, often at the limit of provocation, making more in own comments please Marine Le Pen as the rules of journalism said objective, FM hosts 93 Quebec radio, also know how to create the craze. This was the case yesterday on the occasion of the event food truck FM 93, held in L'Ancienne-Lorette in the area of ??the national capital.
It was at the end of March that Gilles Parent, one of the leaders featured FM 93, regrets waves that Quebec and its mayor Régis Labeaume persist - at least for this year - not to allow the kitchen Street, arguing that this could harm the restaurateurs. So it would be good, according to Gilles Parent, to show the mayor of Quebec that the latter genuinely meets the desire of the population. Taking up the ball, the mayor of L'Ancienne-Lorette, Émile Loranger, contact the host of the show's return Gilles Parent and presents a logistical assistance in the territory of his city if an event bringing together truck Street food was established.
Less than two months later, on land adjacent to the Polyvalente de L'Ancienne-Lorette, a splendid sunny day at will, between 11 am and 22 pm, 600 seats are installed around 21 street food trucks. Three hours before the end of the day, as Marie-Pierre Savard, Communications and Promotions at Cogeco, owner of some private radio stations in Quebec City including the famous FM 93, an estimated "to have served more than 18,000 meals during this event. "
For all tastes
Not only was there trucks Quebec like the Chic Shack restaurant which has already talked restoenligne, but by working with Gaëlle Cerf of the Association of Quebec Street restaurant, was brought to Quebec Montréal restaurateurs like Europea, but also paired Quebec and Montreal in some trucks!
The event - whose English name is questionable - has revealed the variety of dishes that can provide street food. One of the best examples being the presence of the Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux, Jérôme Ferrer with Europea Mobile. For one, the experience of the Europea Mobile will have passed through its lobster cappuccino with truffle in his famous guedille creamy lobster, but also a blood risotto with beets and yuzu or lacquered and caramelized with maple pork. often owned restaurants, the mobile truck is used as interesting business card for possibly push beyond the culinary adventure.
Obviously tails of several tens of meters in front were numerous trucks. Sometimes we had to wait an hour before being served. Not all have waited far to enjoy a cheese upscale grilled or cheese fondues, pies or bacon to satisfy your sweet tooth, the churros Market Old Port of Quebec. Das Truck, No pig in my living room or rolling Lab - yes, there was also cocktails! - Are just some of the trucks that were on this fine Friday in L'Ancienne-Lorette. There really was something for everyone! And not just junk food as might have been expected.
It is a visibly pleased Mayor Loranger who confided to the reporter that if restoenligne.com trucks at the event wanted to settle in his city of 18,000 inhabitants, "they would be welcome, because I believe that answers a need. We, our motto is to live and let live, no bother business people. "
As for the organizers, we were obviously delighted such a success. Starting with the arrival in microphone FM 93 ... Régis Labeaume, who said about street food, "we'll do it there, we will avoid the chicane. (...) So when it will start, we will go properly. "
As to whether the event will return next year, Marie-Pierre Savard sketch a charming smile. Perhaps the answer will come in 2017 Mayor Labeaume himself!
