Whenever we watch Jon Favreau’s 2014 movie Chef, we always wish for someone to organise a food truck festival in the pleasant winters of this city. And Mulund resident Ronil Boricha seems to have heard our prayers, since he is organising the Mumbai Food Truck Festival (MFTF) in the eastern suburb this weekend.

“I wanted to open a food truck. Somehow, this led me to work on MFTF. We [a team of 22 people] took less than a month to organise it. Since I live in Mulund, we picked the suburb as the venue,” says the 24-year-old organiser. Boricha tells us that their first target was to procure all the licences and permissions (a nagging problem that troubled Bandra’s food truck park), which was relatively easy as the festival is a two-day affair.
