I am fascinated by food trucks. No longer are they “roach coaches”, but many of these trucks serve gourmet food for the people on the street to enjoy. Perhaps Austin is the “Food Truck Capital” of Texas, but Dallas is certainly joining the trend. On this day, five gourmet food trucks were parked near the […]
