From Wednesday 12 Oct to Sunday 16 Oct The Food Truck Park is rolling down to the Frankston Waterfront for The Seaside Street Food Festival. The sun is out and the gateway to the Morning Peninsula is going global, with more than 40 culturally eclectic vendors showcasing the best street food, craft beer, cider and wine in Australia. Here's a few choice picks to get you started.
Paella? Yes pa-lease. You'll be able to pick out Boho Blends from their classic '70s Franklin caravan and the head swinging smells coming from within. Although best known their mixed Classic Paella with San Jose chorizo, chicken breast, prawns and roasted capsicum, they also do vegetarian and vegan mixes of the quintessential Valencian dish.
What's better than fish and chips on the shoreline? How about straight-cut potato chips with pulled beef, mozzarella cheese and pepper gravy? Or sweet potato fries with paprika, bacon and ranch dressing? We never thought we'd say this, but chicken salt just isn't going to cut it.

Normally if you jerk it at the beach you're looking at an ankle bracelet, but when The Real Jerk bring the street cuisine of the Caribbean to the shore the people line right up. Items like the traditional jerk chicken with rice, peas and Caribbean gravy or their baby back jerk smoky BBQ pork ribs, made with traditional Jamaican spices and marinades, will leave you drooling.
Slow down guys, you need to save room for dessert - especially since Manny's Donuts will be hanging around. One look at their churros and donuts, Nutella and hot jam, is enough to convince you that beach bods are for chumps and you'll regret it if you've already done your dash.
