Downtown Street Eats kicks off on Monday, April 6, bringing dozens of food trucks to Detroit’s Cadillac Square.
This year’s program includes Island Noodles, a popular vendor at music festivals across the U.S., including Movement and Electric Forest in Michigan. The brand was founded in the 1990s in Montana and has become beloved for its Hawaiian-style wok-fired stir fry noodles. The food truck is also known for its smoothies.
“Downtown Street Eats has built an incredible reputation, and we’ve heard nothing but great things about the program and how much it’s grown over the years,” said Kelley Rowe, co-owner of Island Noodles. “We’re excited to introduce our noodles to a new lunchtime crowd in Downtown Detroit and be part of a program that celebrates so many great local food vendors.”
Island Noodles is among more than 80 food trucks and vendors that will rotate through Downtown Street Eats, which is open from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on weekdays through Oct. 9.
The event bills itself as “Michigan’s largest weekly food truck experience,” drawing some 2,500 people daily, according to Downtown Detroit Partnership.
Newcomers to the food truck rally this year include the Italian-themed Detroit Panzerotti Co. The food truck was founded by Paul Buscemi of metro Detroit’s Buscemi’s chain of party stores after a cancer diagnosis in 2016.
“After going through cancer, I realized life is too short not to build something meaningful with my family,” Buscemi said in a statement. “We saw a niche for Detroit-style pizza and calzones in the food truck industry, and Downtown Street Eats is the perfect place to share it with people working and visiting downtown.”
