Let’s face it. In many places around the world, some of the best meals to be had are handed over to you from the side of a kitted out truck. Whether offering urban fusion street food in the hopes of creating the next culinary hit or simply trying to make a living selling honest food in as straightforward and pragmatic manners as possible, there are loads of amazing food trucks parked and providing delicious dishes to the masses. Coming up with a list of the very best would prove a toughie. But narrowing down a list to a few of the most unique, well, that’s a bit easier to do. Here are five of the world’s most original and quirkiest food trucks. Kogi<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nServing what’s largely considered to be the best burger in Paris, Camion Qui Fume (\u201csmoking truck\u201d) has the distinction of the being the first food truck ever in the entire country of France. Started by Kristin Frederick, a Californian who graduated from French culinary school and decided to stay on and fuse her US West Coast roots (and cravings) with her professional chef knowledge, this \u201csmoking truck\u201d was an instant hit. A wave nouvelle convoy soon followed to make Paris home of one of the yummiest street food scenes in Europe. The truck’s location changes almost daily.
