Mobile Vendors with Specialty Fare

I am not following the food truck scene as closely as I did for a while in 2010. There have been many new trucks hitting the streets, many of them, unfortunately, aimed at the bar crowd. At one time I think I had the most complete list of these 'chef-driven trucks' and vendors offering ethnic cuisines other than Mexican, but no more. The Houston Food Trucks site is keeping track of the former, anyway, and EatDrinkHouston keeps track of the tweets of a few of the most popular ones.

And what to call this category? Gourmet?, Chef-driven?, Gastro-carts?, Luxe Loncheras? I'm at a loss but I like to create categories and these vendors are clearly different than the loncheras and other mobile vendors mostly aimed at the working classes - different, oh so trendy, but not necessarily better.Since I do not have much of a sweet tooth haven't visited any of that variety but I list them anyway.

Bare Bowls Truck,, report here.

Bernie's Burger Bus - a school bus serving grass-fed Black Angus beef burgers. Check their Twitter page for the schedule. Picture here. A second unit is in the works and apparently also a brick-and-mortar operation for downtown.

Chi'Lantro - another Korean-Mexican fusion truck and another truck from an Austin operator.  Kimchi fries are supposed to be good; I've had the 'burger' with pork (Korean pulled pork) and would definitely order again - nice balance of ingredients, great, fresh bun.

CM Roadie - a food truck from Central Market.

Cooper's Po-Boy Express - New Orleans style po-boys. Report here.
