Puerto Rican food truck The Latin Farmer rolling out in late summer
The Latin Farmer, operated by Wilfredo Manzano, will introduce "a healthier and more wonderful way of eating authentic Puerto Rican dishes" by early August. Manzano, who grew up in Puerto Rico, is working hand-in-hand with organizations like The Food Trust and Greensgrow Farms to bring a fresh, seasonal lunch menu to different Philly neighborhoods. While the food is still being perfected, Manzano mentions that he'll offer both vegetarian and meat dishes; he'll travel back to his homeland this July to work on recipes for the concept. He says one of The Latin Farmer's biggest goals is to inspire Philly's Latino communities to explore a healthier and sustainable way of cooking.
While the operation won't be ready until August, look for the truck to make a few pop-up appearances in July. 'It's just a matter of polishing up the truck and rolling out soon," he says. In the meantime, follow The Latin Farmer on Twitter and stay tuned to Meal Ticket for updates.
