I went down and turned around. I figure I will follow the twitter accounts of the trucks I want to try when the crowds aren't as bad.

They were also talking about this on Global news this morning; which I'm sure helped increased the number of people who turned out.

I hope the burgers are better than they look. From the ones I saw people eating on Stephen Avenue I'm not sure you could tell the difference between an Alley Burger and a Peter's Burger.

Having had both, it's not even close.
It's been a few years since I last ate at Peter's, but IIRC they use frozen burger patties. Alley Burgers are hand-made pork & garlic sausage patties topped with cheese curds and piri piri aioli. They also have a 100% Angus beef burger, but I haven't tried it yet.

I walked to Stephen ave on my lunch to get an Alley burger from their food truck
I left with a Big Mac (as well as a Fillet O Fish and medium fries) from McDonalds
That line was way too long.

But the Big Mac was delicious!

Are these not the same burgers at Charcut? If so, why not just go to Charcut? Yeah, its a bit more, but then you're not lining up for 1.5 hrs...

That's exactly what my coworkers and I did today. Saw the crazy lines and just decided to go to Charcut for lunch instead.
The big advantage of getting food from a truck is that speed of service should be almost instant. I'm sure after the initial fad of having food trucks in Calgary dies down, that will become the norm.
