The popular trend has finally hit Smyrna...the food truck craze that is! And oh, how excited was I.
It started 3 weeks ago, but tonight was our first venture out to the Smyrna Food Truck Tuesday in Taylor Brawner Park. Have I ever mentioned, how much I love my little town! If not, let me divert for one second to tell you how awesome this little place I call home is.....
Smyrna has not only put together a food truck event, but they encourage people to walk and bike there. This is one of the reasons we fell in love with Smyrna - it's a city that works on projects that reflect community such as widening sidewalks and creating pedestrian bridges that make it easier to be mobile in something other than a car to get to great events like Food Truck Tuesday or the various festivals in the Market Village.
Ok....diversion over. Back to important stuff like Food Trucks and the food coming out of these kitchens on wheels.
On tap tonight...we opted for Ibiza bites and King of Pops.
Ibiza bites was something of a southern latin fusion that included (from left to right in the pic below):
And of course the June bug was there to do a little begging....and drooling.
King of Pops...these craft popsicles are pure frozen fruit fabulousness...flavors of choice this evening included Raspberry Lime and Apricot & something...we forgot.
Overall, a very enjoyable first Food Truck Tuesday for these Smyrnites and the June bug. We braved the 90+ degrees, but we got to spend some quality time with our neighbors and their new baby; plus we walked there, so the indulgent food was guilt-free...at least that's what I'm telling myself.
This weekend we head out to the Food Truck and Craft Beer Mecca...Portland, OR.
Stay tuned for Our Portlandia moments.

- Waffle fries with a lemon sauce and maple syrup...yes, I said maple syrup, and believe me the combo may not sound complimentary, but it worked!
- Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese with grilled corn....need I say more.
- Coconut Fried Chicken with Slaw and Coconut Mango Rice...a little piece of paradise. (Just needed a pina colada or mai tai to top it off!)
