Zagat Guide Launches Food Truck Finder

As we mentioned last month, influential foodie guide Zagat added food trucks to its list of

eateries it reviewed. Earlier this week, the creators of this guide made finding food trucks easier with the launch of Zagat Food Trucks, a free website designed to help hungry New Yorkers locate their favorite mobile cuisine.

The map, now in its beta testing phase, was created by creative interactive agency JESS3, allows users to search for food trucks by location, by cuisine and by Zagat food rating. Once a user has chosen a food truck, the site will indicate its location, social media links (Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter), as well as its Zagat ratings and reviews. Currently, Zagat’s top-rated food trucks are limited to trucks in the Manhattan area.

Trucks will also be able to make their wandering whereabouts known by tweeting their locations to @ZagatTrucks, which automatically updates the app. While there?s no mobile app version of this service, users can follow the action on their mobile browsers.
