With more volunteers and a larger area, organizers say Wednesday's event at the Farmers Market was a lot smoother.
Street Eats Wednesday opened for the second time at the Royal Oak Farmers Market, but this month, organizers and vendors were better prepared for the crowd. "This time we were ready for the masses," Market Manager Shelly Mazur said. Street Eats Wednesday is a food truck rally with vendors such as Jacques’ Tacos, Chow Catering, Taco Mama, Franks Anatra, Ned's TravelBurgers and El Guapo Fresh Mexican Grill.

Mobile food vendors will serve up their best fare this evening in first 'Street Eats Wednesday' event.
Mobile food vendors will growl into the Royal Oak Farmers Market tonight, where as many as six 26-foot bumper-to-bumper trucks can fit comfortably inside the confines of the market according to market manager Shelly Mazur. The event, "Street Eats Wednesday," is sponsored by the newly formed Michigan Mobile Food Vendors Association. So far, organizers have lined up five trucks, a food cart and a popular local band, the Reefermen. Dan Gearig, 36, will serve up eats from El Guapo: Fresh Mexican Grill. The chef said the rogue street food movement is about culture and freedom — not to mention the inability to come up with $100,000 to start a traditional restaurant.
