Check out one of these must-try food trucks, provided by Thrillist. Perfect for a quick bite on a nice summer day!

1. Lilos Plates

Where to find it: Location(s)
What you're getting: Loco Moco and Chicken Island Curry
It’s about time somebody brought Hawaiian food to Boston, right? One of newer food trucks on the block, Lilo’s Plates serves Hawaiian dishes like Chicken Island Curry and Loco Moco, a Japanese-style burger served with beef gravy and a fried egg, as well as rotating specials like Spam musubi, a popular Hawaiian snack made with Spam, nori, and rice.

2. The Cookie Monstah

Where to find it: Location(s)
What you're getting: The Salty Dog (salted caramel cookies with turtle ice cream)
The real magic behind The Cookie Monstah is that it pairs freshly baked, chewy cookies with an array of decadent ice creams from Richardson’s Farm, and the result is an over-the-top ice cream sandwich. Cookie types alternate, but you can’t go wrong with its signature chocolate chunk, snickerdoodle, or red velvet with white chocolate.

3. Clover

Where to find it: Location(s)
What you're getting: The Egg and Eggplant sandwich with rosemary fries
Everything about Clover, from the trucks’ decor to the recyclable paper packaging, screams simple and no fuss, and that’s the approach owner Ayr Muir has taken with his vegetarian empire since it launched in September of 2008.  Menus change seasonally to incorporate available produce and include dishes like just-debuted Panella sandwich, which’s made with chickpea cake, Kalamata olives, and fennel.

"What's better than brunch? How about eating brunch outside on a perfect Summer day as you enjoy the fact that it isn't August yet and you aren't sweating through all of your clothing? Why yes, that IS better. Here are a few great outdoor brunches to enjoy this weekend, thanks to Thrillist.

The Sinclair | Harvard Square

"The Sinclair has a killer deck and an equally killer brunch to go with it, starting at 11am (or whenever you should happen to wake up). An absolute must is the Bacon Bloody Mary with Fire Puncher vodka, roasted tomato, and house pickles... oh, and a bacon kebab on top. Food-wise, they nail both the sweet and savory ends of the spectrum (spicy eggs Benedict, baked french toast), but why not go for everything at once with the Waffle Burger: grass-fed beef on a buttermilk waffle bun appointed with shallot jam, applewood bacon, cheddar, a fried egg, and maple syrup, served with greens or tots. So, tots"

Stephi's on Tremont | South End

"Kick your useless belt to the curb on the well-shaded patio at Stephanie Sokolove’s Tremont outpost with her comfort-food-gone-mad creations and build-your-own Bloody Mary options (complete with clipboard). From 10am-3pm, chow down on the salty pretzel-crusted crab cake Benedict doused in whole grain mustard hollandaise. Or maybe try the stick-to-your-ribs meatloaf hash swimming in gravy and topped with fried eggs. Better yet, head way South for the arepa con chorizo."

The Living Room | Waterfront

"Every Saturday, Sunday, AND Monday (11am-3pm), Chef Edlbauer escorts you to your happy place with belly-busting fare and crafty cocktails. Enjoy people watching and tourist snarking at Columbus Park from the ample patio and treat yourself to chicken and waffles (self-explanatory), Buffalo chicken dumplings (also pretty clear), and a hefty order of loaded huevos rancheros served on a mod-style lunch tray... take THAT cafeteria lady."
