It took a few years, but the food-truck boom has swept up Colorado Springs' eaters. The easiest place to catch a diverse sampling is Curbside Cuisine (curbsidecuisinecs.com), an outdoor food court located downtown at the corner of Platte and Nevada avenues. The next-easiest thing to do is head to a local brewery, since the simultaneous onslaught of new beer has helped support the mobile-food movement. Lastly, you can obsessively follow your favorite truck on Facebook or Twitter, tracking its every movement in order to better enslave it in service to your stomach. Whatever works.
