Brian Kimball - Magic Curry Kart

In the spring of 2009 on a back alley in the Mission District of San Francisco a renegade street food cart was born sparking a chain reaction that led to a revival of mobile food in the Bay Area. Armed with smart phones and motivated by a tough economy; the Magic Curry Kart and a handful of entrepreneur mobile food vendors took to the streets serving up delicious food while at the same time spreading the word through digital "word of mouth". A city known for being tech savvy and zealous for delicious food welcomed this new trend with open arms. Two years later and Street Food is a main stream food option in the Bay Area! There are now carts, trucks, festivals, underground markets and all kinds of developing food businesses.

This last summer the Magic Curry Kart started a new venture of offering Magic Curry Kart products for Whole Foods Market. Magic Curry Paste (red & green) as well as Magic Chili Sauce (red & green) are now available at all Whole Food Markets in San Francisco with plans to spread through the bay area. Stay tuned for what's next for the Magic Curry Kart by following on Twitter, Facebook, or checking back on the website.
