I don't consider myself a food snob, but a borderline foodie. I love going to diners as much as I like going to nice restaurants .
What the Truck is a really awesome event that was put together by one of the local business associations. It's essentially a gathering of foodie food trucks. YUMMMMMM!!!!! This event only runs for the month of May. 4-5 gourmet food trucks gather in a local park just off one of our "trendiest" streets to sell you their wares. The trucks that are there change from week to week, hence the "menu" changes from week to week.
I am a HUGE food truck fan. I don't know why. Who doesn't want to eat Truffle Oil Tater Tots?? For $6? C'mon! :P So when I heard about this event from a friend, I nearly freaked out. But unfortunately, like I said before, life kept getting in the way and I couldn't get out there until this past Thursday. I probably got there around 5:!5pm (the event starts at 5:00pm...and the line ups were already insane! By 6:15pm, the trucks started to run out of food!!!! It was a little disappointing to be standing in line for nearly an hour just to find out the "Bacon Bomb" was sold out. *sad face* I guess I have to look on the bright side, my heart was probably thanking the high skies that I wasn't able to get it. BUT...I am more than willing to take one for the team, so I'm planning on going again this Thursday, this time with more reinforcements and a plan of attack! I'm NOT going to be thwarted. But in the meantime, here are some shots that I took of the event, along with some other photos that I took during the week - I hope that you enjoy.
