It was a great opportunity to try out many popular food trucks and we were fortunate to sample without waiting in really long lines. Dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds along with their owners came out and enjoyed relaxing and playing in the grass and sampling some terrific food.
The trucks that participated were
The trucks that participated were
* Chirba Chirba Dumpling
* Klausie’s Pizza
* Captain Ponchos Tacos
* Chick-N-Que
* Porchetta
* Smiles the Cupcake Truck
What was really cool is that each Truck donated 10% of their earnings from Saturday and then Wilkinson matched it!
I love that we had a chance to finally try Chirba Chirba. I tried to get a sample at the last Food Truck Rodeo in Raleigh but the lines were massive. Deliciously fresh pork and mushroom dumplings and a delicious side salad of marinated cucumbers, made for a very tasty lunch.
We also ordered a couple of pork sandwiches from another favorite, Porchetta. Lines were a bit longer at the very popular Klausie's pizza and the smell of pizza was fabulous. My daughter enjoyed a delicious and spicy chicken BBQ sandwich from Chick-N-Que. Tacos at Captain Ponchos are always good and there was even Smiles cupcake truck for dessert!
If you missed this Food Truck event, no worries. More and more food truck rodeos, big and small are starting to pop up all around Raleigh and surrounding areas, especially this Summer. Food trucks can also be found at many local businesses in their parking lots and commercial business parks. There's a great sense of community at these events. The best way to know where these trucks are (or if you are looking for a specific truck) is to follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
