The White Lady of Auckland
The roving, tweeting food truck may have hit the Philly food scene in 2009, but the stationary food truck has been part of our culinary tradition for time immemorial. So when I turned a corner in Auckland, New Zealand and came upon the White Lady in all her glory, it just seemed required that I stop and eat.
That’s right, for more than 60 years (22,514 nights if you can’t read kiwi), the White Lady has been setting up shop from 7 pm to 7 am in downtown Auckland. Once my burning jealousy over late night food truckery faded, I ordered up a king burger (i.e. crowned with a fried egg) and an L&P.
The White Lady loves you, no matter what your predeliction is — they offer beef patties, chicken, veggie, sausage or steak, even lettuce wraps for the gluten-free folk. Take it on the road, or eat standing up at the counter. Either way, it’s sure to leave you licking your lips!
Should you find yourself in Auckland, New Zealand, the White Lady can be found from 7 pm to 4 am at the corner of Commerce and Fort Streets, 365 days a year, and 24 hours a day on the weekends. That’s dedication to street food!
