Truck Food

I’m so jealous of everyone in California.

Not because the Terminator is your Governor or because you’re the home of “The Hills” but because you have truck food on every corner.

Yes, truck food.

Many of you are probably familiar with the “taco truck” concept that became famous in California. Since that time…trucks of every kind have exploded all over the place. From Cupcake Trucks to Grilled Cheese Trucks, almost every type of good food on earth is served out of a truck in California.

My stomach is growling with envy.

I just don’t get it. Here in Clearwater, FL there is nothing unique, fun or cool. Sure we have our “local places” but there is nothing in particular that melts my mind and moves my soul. I want good food served from a truck on the street corner and more than that I want a restaurant in my city that people from all over crave.

Do you watch that show on Food Network, Diners Drive Ins & Dives? If you have than you understand what I mean when I say I want an amazing local restaurant. On the show, Guy Fieri goes all over the country in search for local restaurant icons.

Every single time I watch that show and every time I hear about “truck food” I just get irritated that there is nothing like that in Clearwater, FL.

Maybe I’m wrong and maybe there is some astonishing local jewel restaurant that I’m unaware of. If you know of one, please prove me wrong and tell me.

If you don’t know of one and you know how to cook, please for all things holy, go rent a truck and start cooking some food….if you do, I’ll be there.
