La Cocinita (The Little Kitchen) serves contemporary Venezuelan street food and is owned by Wilmette residents Rachel and Benoit Angulo (Chef Benoit has been featured on Bravo’s Top Chef in the Padma’s Picks series). The Fat Shallot food truck brings delicious, made-to-order sandwiches and sides to a spot near you (Chef Sam is an alum of Everest Restaurant and a three-star Michelin restaurant in Spain). The food trucks will donate a portion of all purchases to the NTFAA.
