Food truck redux in Miami -- we got an app for that - Globe-trotting

A lot has happened since I last reported [1] on Miami's food truck scene: More trucks, more events, even their own free app [2] so you can keep track of them all by iPhone or Droid courtesy of the trucks' original blogger-stalker Seth Gonzalez, a.k.a. Burger Beast.

At a recent rally in Tropical Park, I was thrilled to discover some 20 new trucks, as well as the good news that most of my old faves are cruising the streets. Slow Food Truck (SFT) [3] was a standout with juicy short ribs, shallots, and watercress in a squishy bun (a little pricey at $8).

Gonzalez, who's been a terrific booster for Miami's mobile gourmets, has turned his passion into a career as a food event organizer, reviewer and caterer with his own shiny black monster of a truck. The Burger Beast mobile is a moveable feast of Gonzalez's favorite local chefs who guest in his kitchen.

The new Burger Beast website [4] and twitter feed [5] are two ways to catch the local food truck buzz, and a rival site, Miami Food Trucks [6] , is coming on strong with nifty features of its own.
