1 Comment

Hey SMASHville!! Get ready for the Great Food Truck Race. The trucks should be in the city Thursday, maybe selling Friday…. For sure selling over the weekend!

I’m hoping the trucks will show off their meats and sides… And some Sweeeet Tea!

Updates will be posted here, or, check twitter for RT’s

Local media has finally posted news:
Florence and the Machines: The Great Food Truck Race Headed to Nashville This Weekend

Local food trucks will be set up at Brew at the Zoo Friday night, the Tour de Fat and Musicians Corner in Centennial Park on Saturday, and at the Wanderland Urban Food Park in Elmington Park on both Saturday and Sunday, but I don’t know if drive-ups are welcome at any of those events.

Nashville, Tennessee – Saturday June 2nd
Yes folks, the Tour de Fat will once again be meandering and pandering through 15 U.S. cities spreading the good word about the positive societal offerings of the bicycle. Along with our exceptional ability to roust a city’s inner-cyclist, in 2012 we hope to drive our message even deeper by bringing you the biggest, most enjoyable traveling bike festival that we know of. The Bike Parade begins at 10 am at Centennial Park, but be there early to register.

Looks like #GreatFoodTruckRace will be at @WanderlandNash this weekend!!! Get a chance to see the 4 remaining trucks & maybe be on TV! — Julie Festa (@PredJules77) May 31, 2012

A Bite Truck rolls into Fullerton

Leave a comment

Orange County’s newest Gourmet Food truck, a Bite Truck, was at the Best Buy in Fullerton on Friday.  They’re still in the process of wrapping their truck, and unfortunately blended in with the crowd. 

I recognized Chef Keba and asked for a recommendation.  He replied their two most popular items are the Classic Bite (marinated filet mignon) over fries and the messy, but delicious Sassy Bite (chicken tikka masala). 

In 2003, Keba and Christna Parker started catering company “A Bite to Remember” before launching A Bite Truck.

If his name sounds familiar, Chef Keba is not new to the Gourmet Food truck community, having worked with two of Orange County’s award-winning gourmet food trucks  Barcelona on the Go (2010 Winner of the Best New Age Truck of the Year)  and The Lime Truck (winner of the  The Great Food Truck Race, season 2).
