You can’t escape the orange. That’s what travelers this summer have been reckoning with — swaths of tangerine, traffic cone and burnt sienna on maps indicating record high temperatures around the globe. Four concurrent heat domes from the southern United States to East Asia descended on millions — Phoenix residents enduring 31 days of 110-degree-plus temperatures. Italians in more than a dozen cities under extreme weather warnings. And in South Korea, at least 125 people were hospitalized for heat-related conditions at the World Scout Jamboree.
Wine Is The Secret Of This Year’s Tuscany Street Food Winners

‘Street foods,’ as defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), are ‘ready-to-eat foods and beverages prepared and/or sold by vendors or hawkers especially in the streets and other similar places.’ As defined by the Cambridge dictionary, street food is ‘food cooked and sold in public places, usually outdoors, to be eaten immediately.’
Think restaurant without a building or tables.
In 2007 the FAO estimated that 2.5 billion humans consume street food every day.
According to the book Street Food around the World, edited by Bruce Kraig and Colleen Taylor, street food which is predominant in many developing countries has become trendy in developed nations—with leading chefs and television series specializing in this nourishment, and food trucks having become ubiquitous in major cities. The late chef, author and television personality Anthony Bourdain dreamed of opening a market along the Hudson River with a hundred food stalls from countries throughout the world (his dream was realized after his passing with the opening of Urban Hawker in New York in 2022).
In the year 2020 archaeologists working to excavate the city of Pompeii in Italy, which was buried during volcanic eruption in the year 79 AD, discovered a termopolium, a hot drinks counter, where food was also sold out of terra cotta jars. Remnants of pork, fish and snails were discovered in these jars. This exterior of this street food counter includes colorful paintings of chicken and ducks.
Today in Italy, the food and wine publishing group Gambero Rosso annually publishes a Street Food Guide. The 2024 edition includes an appendix listing food trucks, and a list of ‘regional champions’ selected from each of Italy’s 20 administrative regions. Last year, the Street Food Chef award was given to Turin chef Marcello Trentini—who prepares quesadillas with black truffle and honey. This year’s award went to chef Gianfranco Pascucci of Rome, who prepares a signature bonito burger with ponzu sauce in between steamed buns.
Gambero Rosso’s editors, in homage to street food and its improvement in Italy during the past decade, write ‘Would Rome be Rome without pizza by the slice?’
Frances Negri, in Fancy Magazine, summarizes some of the delicacies now available on street corners in Italy, writing [translated] ‘The Florentine lamprey, the Romagna piadina, the arancino, the Sicilian cannolo, the Genoese focaccia and the Apulian panzerotto: these are just some of the exquisitely Italian street foods, which have their roots in past centuries …’
In the Pontassieve commune within Florence, in a small town named Le Sieci, the food truck titled A Pancia Piena (meaning ‘full belly’) won this year’s Gambero Rosso regional award for

I took my daughter to Greece – and saw the world through a 17-year-old’s eyes
‘Slipping through my fingers all the time / I try to capture every minute …,” mourns Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia! as we drive along a dusty road lined with goats and olive trees to Kefalos beach. I glance over at my girl – rosy cheeks, sun-kissed hair, phone glued to hand – and I’m overcome with emotion and involuntarily snort tears down my face.
