Menus on the move: 'Top Chef' winner Hosea adds to Front Range mobile food trend.

Tricked-out food trucks have been dotting Front Range streets in recent months.

There's the white and blue Denver Cupcake Truck, the retro-chic Steuben's Food Service Truck, the modern Biscuit Bus, and the hot-pink, taco-dispensing Comida truck launched by former Proto's Pizza co-owner Rayme Rossello in May.

In July, one more joined their number: an Airstream trailer for StrEat Chefs. Chef Hosea Rosenberg, winner of the fifth season of the reality TV show "Top Chef," and his partner, Laura Rice, are bringing food from all over the world to the streets of Boulder County.

The Airstream trailer boasts a full kitchen to handle large crowds. StrEat Chefs rolls into the Chautauqua on Monday nights, the Louisville Street Faire on Friday Nights and the 29th Street Mall on Saturday nights. Starting in September, they will also work University of Colorado football games.

"I think street food is where fast and casual dining is going," Rice said. "We can go to the people."

StrEat Chefs has every intention of doing just that. "Our plan is to be national," the chef said. "We want to go to other college towns similar to Boulder, like Lawrence, Kan. They are great places to be outside, and enjoying the outdoor weather is a great part of the street food culture that we hope to bring to Boulder."

The Denver Biscuit Company's Biscuit Bus has been on the streets since May 1, serving up Southern goodness. Owners Ashleigh and Drew Shader bought the old DHL truck that was to become the Biscuit Bus in February and worked with a metal fabricator in Parker to make the many modifications that transformed it.

"It was a giant learning process. We had never done anything like it," Ashleigh Shader said.

Now the Shaders are at it again, building another truck for their other venture, Fat Sully's New York Pizza. Shader said they were hoping for an August 1 launch of the Sully's Slice Truck.

"We're realizing that Denver is really desperate for stuff like this," Shader said. "We would like to be part of a food-truck community. We all need to get together somewhere so that everyone can come and eat and support local business."

The Biscuit Bus makes regular appearances at the Cherry Creek Farmer's Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays and at the Stapleton Farmer's Market on Sundays. Locations throughout the week are announced on Facebook and Twitter.

The Denver Cupcake Truck, "Clementine" to the fans, also uses Facebook and Twitter to get the word out. Owner Sean Moore has...
