Best Southern Food Trucks

[aksheckler]

I'm looking for the best food trucks in the south. Anybody have some suggestions?

I think ours is pretty dang good. Look for "The Pickle" around Atlanta and the southeast.
Here is the link. There is a link to the menu as well.

There is no shortage of barbecue trucks around the Charlotte Area. Ron's BBQ travels around York County (in SC just south of Charlotte), setting up in particular parking lots on particular days, serving good barbecue sandwiches, with slaw of course. He smokes the meat himself overnight. Tasty!

I can tell you that that Carrboro and Durham are not short on food trucks as far as Tacos go. There is also a Cupcake Truck in Durham and OnlyBurger which I hear has a good following. Out of those, I'm not sure if any of them are significant stand outs as I've not eaten from them, but I do know they exist. One other question to add to some others, by best are you counting the bang for your buck or just the taste and quality of the ingredients?

Bang for your buck, unique set-up, taste and quality of the ingredients. Basically anything worth trying. Thanks!

In durham one Taco truck became a taco bus. I don't know if it is still going around but check the website Carpe Durham. Only burger is not necessarily unique, but I hear the burgers are tasty and they can be followed on twitter. As far as the cupcakes, there is the following.. http://www.eatdaisycakes.com/. It may be only a matter of time before we get a Korean cart like they have in DC.

Is this for a tv show?

[aksheckler]

It's for a book.

Saw that someone is doing a movie or Vlog of the same sorta thing.

Grateful Growers' Harvest Moon Grill truck does a nice job using local food and a variety of styles. It parks at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market on Saturdays for breakfast and lunch, and uptown near 4th and Tryon two days a week for lunches. You should be able to find the menu and the schedule at www.ggfarm.com.

Care to be more specific? By "food truck" do you mean street food vendors? Also, "the south?" That's a fairly large territory. If you can provide more details about what you are looking for and why, then you might get some meaningful replies.

[aksheckler]

By food truck I mean a truck/trailer where employees are actually inside, cooking the food fresh to order in full kitchen set-ups. And by "the south" I mean Louisiana, the Carolinas, Viriginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama & Mississippi.

Not Georgia?

Sorry, the inveterate geographer in me can't resist.

My observation has been that their are fewer food trucks in the South than elsewhere -- it gets pretty hot cooking inside a metal can in August.

You might want to look at North Charleston. There's a vibrant Hispanic community there with multiple taco trucks in the area. Los Parados is my favorite. They started with a taco truck a few years ago and now have a small restaurant and the taco truck.
