Like food trucks, but hate tracking them down? Whether it’s a coincidence or not, this weekend is loaded with chances to check out a variety of mobile eateries in one fell swoop. The largest is probably Time Out’s Food Truck Social, which is also a benefit for Share our Strength. Along with 12 different trucks, four of Chicago’s best chefs will also be attending.
