Food Truck Events Sprouting Up All Over

Last Summer, Dallas’ first legitimate food truck event brought well over 2000 people out in sweltering 108 degree temperature.  They’re now pretty much old hat, with every event  roping in 5+ food trucks to feed the expected masses.  There are the charitable events as well, with the food truck owners often contributing in some form.

In general, the gatherings of 5+ food trucks works terrifically well when you have lots of people in your group.  For example, last Wednesday, my family of 5 stopped at the “Food Truck Experience” at Sigel’s/Greenville.  For 5 different people, we were easily able to get sliders, grilled cheese sandwich, and nachos for the kids from 3 different food trucks, and more upscale food from yet a different truck for the adults.  We fed our family of five for under $40 for multiple options and much higher quality than we would ever find from fast food or “fast casual”.

There are lots of special events coming up soon, as well as weekly events where you can try out this new food segment in Dallas and Fort Worth.  We don’t want to inundate you with an announcement of every single event coming up.  We will include them in our Monday weekly “food truck schedule” as well as independently highlight those that serve an important cause in the Metroplex.
