Skillet is exactly the type of street food that would flourish in a food-obsessed but not terribly adventurous city like Seattle: locavore bistro fare served up in a stylishly DIY manner. The shiny Airstream with the frying pan logo serves lunch in different locations each week and also caters special events both public and private; check the website or Twitter feed (@skilletstfood) to find out the when the truck will be in your neighborhood.

The menu of a half-dozen dishes changes weekly, but two are constant: rich poutine (hand-cut fries with gravy and cheddar), and a really good basic burger. The latter is dressed up with Skillet’s signature bacon jam (a spreadable mixture of bacon, balsamic vinegar, onions, and spices), which adds some salty, tangy complexity to a hunk of grass-fed beef.

The Skillet team maxes out at three people, and although they have an efficient assembly system, if the line is long—as it is when they’re at an event—you’ll be in for a tense wait, punctuated by moments of disappointment when one of the skilleteers heads to the chalkboard to wipe off the names of dish as it runs out. Skillet seems to never run out of burgers, though, and standing around watching the excitement of passersby as they discover the Airstream is parked on their street is half the fun.
