Wanderlust Pizza Gets Fired Up in an Airstream Here's a great article on Wanderlust Pizza out of St. Louis: Wanderlust Pizza Gets Fired Up in an Airstream - St. Louis Restaurants and Dining - Gut Check
St. Louis' newest food truck hit the streets July 1, and it might have the most interesting set-up of any truck to date. Wanderlust Pizza owner and chef Erik Jacobs outfitted a 1973 Airstream trailer with a wood-burning pizza oven.
"Ever since I built a brick bread oven in my backyard, I've been a fanatic about live-fire cooking," says Jacobs. "When I began dreaming up how Wanderlust would take shape, I saw the food truck trend already gaining momentum. What bothered me then about the trucks was their uniformity in appearance. It's a big box with different graphics. I wanted Wanderlust to be distinct from the rest visually and gastronomically.
"I've always loved Airstreams, and the travel trailer really reinforces the vibe of the Wanderlust story -- picking up, traveling around, serving pizza and exploring the world." |
