Orlando Hotel Hosts Food Truck Festival

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando is joining in on the food truck fad. The hotel announced that it will be hosting its first-ever food truck festival, the Harborside Food Truck Festival, on Nov. 3 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The free festival will highlight specialties from Portofino Bay chefs (they don't have a food truck – yet), such as pumpkin ravioli and braised pancetta, Italian seafood salad, tiramisu, and carrot cake.

Of course a food truck festival isn't complete without food trucks. Eight of Orlando's most popular food trucks, including The Flattery, Kona Dog, City Eats, Bem Bom, SwedeDish Food Truck, The Crooked Spoon, Monsta Lobsta and Fork In The Road; are serving up fish tacos, lobster rolls, burgers, flatbreads, and much more.
