Bozner Gourmet Street Food

Another Saturday,another foodie adventure!
This time I visited a brand new presence in town: theStreet Food Gourmet truck.
I’ll spend some words onErica Petroni, owner and chef of the truck, for all curious readers.
She comesfrom Tuscany, but lived and worked almost everywhere. In spite of her young age, she has along experiencein the food industry: creative chef, restaurant owner, food photographer and writer, and much more. Now she has landed at street food withherpersonalphilosophythat I completely embrace:bringing high quality food and creative recipes in the streets, among people, at everyone’s disposal, at affordable prices.She works hard on herself-designed ‘furgonzin’(a vintage Ducato truck) in Meran and Bolzano.The menu changes almost every day, depending on the season, on the fresh products and on the inspiration of Erica, but alwaysmakes my mouth water…

Last Saturday’s menu:- Tuscan schiacciatawith fresh salami and caramelised spring onion- Tripe with polenta concia(it means enriched with blue or farm cheese) and spring onion- Home-made porchettaof smoked belly ribs and stuffed spring onion wrapped in home-made piadina-Schiacciata withlampredotto(typical Tuscan tripe sandwich)
These succulent plates remind me of the times I went visiting my brother in Florence.Memory food… I simply had to try!

I met with Manuel at 12:25, famished and ready to taste the planned and desired lunch:imagine our expectations. And try to figure out what an unwelcome surprise we got by hearing from Erica thatshe already run out of almost everything! Damn, at 12:25! Is it possible?Yes it is, because she cooks every dish in limited quantity every morning with this specific purpose. Quality, freshness and naturalness instead of quantity.
My hint:Reserve your portionsin advance… Being left empty-handed is very disappointing!
Luckily, we managed to grablast tripe and porchetta portionsand started savouring our lunch paired with a glass of local red wine. How was it?Tasty, lovely and full of memories.
Here some photos, so that you can get an idea and start planning your visit :-)

Moreover,Erica enjoys the contact with customersand loves to chatter. This way the truck becomes alittle community of people, regularly meeting there and sharing their lunchtime together. I really cherish such an ambience in the middle of a crowded urban open-air market!
The glitch:Eating outdoors could have drawbacks set aside! In this season, weather is cold and windy: food becomes cold in seconds, losing a good part of its best features, while red wine has no chance of giving off its aromas.I hope spring will come soonto deeply enjoy mild weather, flavourful food and the good company!
Erica is amazing – she eveninvited me on the truckto experience how it feels to be a street food chef! – and her food delicious. I think that paying a visitwill become a steady appointmentfor me :-)
