LEE BRIAN SCHRAGER: Your position as special projects director at Food & Wine and role as a judge on Bravo’s Top Chef have no doubt given you the opportunity to try nearly every type of culinary trend out there. What’s “in” these days?

GAIL SIMMONS: Food trucks—they’re progressing to the next stage. Some of them are getting so big and so successful that they’re setting up in permanent locations. One of my favorites is the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck—the owners just opened an actual store in

[New York’s] East Village! I think that says a lot about where we are in the world, and it’s a good thing that people are responding to it.
