Food Truck Love

     One of the newest additions to the city of Dallas is the food truck.  No longer referred to as a “Roach Coach” and viewed as substandard food, this method of dining provides talented young chefs with a new outlet.  One that requires much less operation cost and therefore has a cheaper end product.  The food truck of this generation is finding ways to bring new flavors to lower price points.  Gluten free foods are being helped greatly by this.  Not only are there trucks that embrace gluten free foods, but the person preparing your food is in the window talking to you. 

     One of my favorite things to do on my days off is to track down my lunch.  The trucks are usually set up in a beautiful place with an outdoor eating area nearby.  There are even events centered entirely around the food truck movement.  These events are usually held in the spring and summer and are known as Food Truck Rallies. They also gather to celebrate large scale events in the city, like the opening of a new park or museum.

     This is how I discovered my favorite new sushi spot.  The grand opening of the Klyde Warren Park over 75 in the arts district had a great deal of action.  There was live music, street performances, and free admission to the museums, but most notably a variety of food trucks.  This is where I found the Crazy Fish sushi truck.  For eight dollars I got a spicy tuna roll and edamame that was large enough to share.  It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon and a cheap lunch.
