On Saturday, May 9, the grounds of Xfinity Live! (1100 Pattison Ave.) will be taken over by four wheels during Taste of 3 Cities, an all-day food-truck festival.

The winning truck in Philly will then compete in the finals against the victors in Baltimore and D.C. "Top Truck" wins the "Taste of Three Cities Triple Crown" award. The winner will take home up to $20,000 in cash and prizes.
