It was a smorgasbord of tastes as the Ybor City Saturday Market held a food truck rally.What a great surprise to see over 20 Food Truck vendors line up all around the park. It was a first for Saturday Market to have the food trucks be a part of the market. Two Asian Guys creating a variety of Pan Asian dishes, Michele Faedo’s famous devil crabs, Tasty Stacy Italian food dishes and so many more wildly named companies had the aromatic air circulate the parks parameters. Thousands of people of all ages took in the recent neuvo culinary tastes from the huge monster revamped kitchen box cargo vans. Lynn Schultz, manager, of the weekly Saturday morning soiree market was all in smiles.
” Some of the truck vendors called and said that they had broken down. But look at the crowd!” she cheerfully said. Eight new vendors signed up for last Saturdays airy show. This is the oldest continually operated outdoor market in the Tampa Bay area. Free parking, pet friendly, variety of food vendors and artists ready with new crafts and views of the world. Open every Sat from 9-3pm.
