Call it the summer of Seattle street food. Culinary entrepreneurs suddenly dot the city with mobile schedules and the glorious sense that it all could be shut down at any minute. The city has even planned a weekly ‘street food fair’ for South Lake Union later this summer.
With today’s announcement that Marination Mobile’s ‘curb cuisine’ is now ready for business, we thought it might be handy to post a Cap Hill street food lunch schedule and map. We’ll update as new players are sure to join the game. Enjoy. (also, should we add the nightlife hot dog vendors of Pike/Pine?)
NOTE 7/8/09: Marination Mobile is currently without a Capitol Hill location. Look for updates here. Update: MM is staying put. New hours below.

Marination Mobile joins the race
on Marination Mobile’s website ( http://www.marinationmobile.com/blog/?page_id=53), it says they’ll be at the Broadway Shell on Thursday and Friday, as well as Saturday.
Thanks. Updated above. That’s a significant Cap Hill presence. Looking forward to trying them out.
Anyone else think the hot dog truck close to War Room are the best in Seattle?
I’m eager to try Marination Mobile. Had a good experience at Maximus/minimus here in Downtown yesterday and am on a mobile food high!
We are the owners of the parking lot on 15th & Pine, and are looking to create a “mobile food court.” What types of food would people like to see on the site? And if you’re a food vendor and would like to set up shop there, please contact Jeff at [email protected]!
Posted about this here and asked for ideas:

Soul Food, maybe some sort of small plate dishes. A French/German booth, or Russian/Ukrainian, pan-African, some regions that don’t get very represented here would be awesome.
I would particularly like to see food from facilities with hot water for hand washing, the ability to store food below 40 or over 140 degrees, and staff who are knowledgeable about food safety and take it seriously. Prominent display of health department inspection status would be nice. Bonus points if it tastes good and costs less than it would at a place with the overhead of a permanent structure.
More specifically: I can (and regularly do) go to any of several places in Little Saigon and buy very tasty bánh mì for $2 each. Surely someone operating out of a truck could hit that price point and sell them as fast as staff could put them together.
For higher-brow sandwiches, how about a Salumi truck?
