One of my favorite trends in the food world at the moment is the food truck craze. Some cities have over 30 rolling restaurants, which is amazing! How could you ever pick a favorite? Lucky for me the area I call home only has a small handful. From the classic all American hamburger to always-unique Asian taco the fare of Chattanooga’s wheel bound food community is worth investing a few lunch breaks in.

Food trucks are clever rolling restaurants that can be found traveling in packs to food truck sanctioned events (Food Truck Thursday!!) or spotted on their own promoting an event or business. The best part of a food truck is that they are always right in the middle of the action. You usually don’t even have to leave the event to grub something local and delicious.

Whether the menu is set in stone or changes as often as your underwear (this is assuming you update your underwear regularly) your food truck adventure is just as distinctive as the truck you choose to dine from. Be sure to choose wisely.
