Wichita Bucket List of 40 New Restaurants and Food Trucks to Visit

Over the past year and a half, hundreds of new restaurants and food trucks have popped up. The problem with these new places is there’s little money left to do some marketing to get their names out. That’s where we can help. I’ve scoured through the hundreds of new establishments to pop up since the start of 2019 and pulled out 40 new restaurants and food trucks to visit.

Listen, 2020 has been a true shit show. Who knows what’s in store for the remaining six months. But why not give yourself something to do and stop by one or all of these places on our new Wichita Bucket List of New Restaurants and Food Trucks to Visit?

I’ve been to all forty of them; some I loved, some I’m lukewarm on and some I weren’t too fond it. The beauty of food though is my opinions may now match yours so it wasn’t only fair to include a good variety regardless of my opinion.

How many of these can you knock out before 2020 is over?
