I’ve gotta say, these Trailer Food Tuesdays events are pretty fantastic. Since the first one early last year, they’ve really found their groove and know how to show off Austin’s food trucks to Austin’s hungry residents. Ev and I headed down after work hoping to meet up with friends and try some new-to-us trucks.
Trailer Food Tuesdays kicked off this past Tuesday as a new series of events meant to promote and provide exposure for Austin’s somewhat saturated food truck market. The idea is to bring the fun and promise of the Gypsy Picnic back to Austin each month without the long lines, sold-out food, and general chaos of the big annual event. Instead, Trailer Food Tuesdays invited out nine of the city’s favorite trucks to create something of a centrally located pop-up food trailer park for all to enjoy. Without further ado, here are my thoughts.
Don’t mess with Texas. Land of Cattle, The Longhorns, and BBQ. Beef is king, be it on a sandwich, bone-in, or straight up. So who has the gall to bring something so New England like a lobster roll to the Lone Star State? One brave trailer is testing the waters in drought-riddled Austin with their menu full of creative sandwiches, headlined by The Maine Event. Meet Dock and Roll Diner.
