Calling all bacon lovers! Located in Huntsville, Alabama, there is a truck that has the perfect dishes to satisfy ALL your bacon cravings; it has everything from pork belly tacos to buffalo wing tater tots! But its most popular dish is the Carlos Santana: a flank steak layered with swiss cheese, ham, a sunny side up egg and bacon….of course!
- Local Roots
Local Roots is a farm-to-table food truck located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. If you fancy a heavier meal - we recommend the Local Roots Burger loaded with cheddar cheese, house pickles, Special Sauce and bacon-onion marmalade, but if you’re searching for a lighter dish - try the Weekly Green Salad with avocados, pecans, raisins, feta and balsamic vinaigrette…..mmmmm!
- Dumps Like A Truck
This authentic Chinese dumpling truck serves up good food to Auburn locals for a great cause. Its large menu includes baos, dumplings, tea eggs and other authentic Chinese dishes, but the local favourite is the pork belly buns paired with pickled vegetables and a sweet & savory sauce. As well as the flavourful food, a portion of all food sales goes to organisations supporting children in third world countries.
- Shindigs
This Birmingham-based, farm-to-fork food truck prepares fresh dishes daily with ingredients that are organically grown on local farms. The menu features dishes such as the Truffle Grilled Cheese, vegan spaghetti and Korean steamed buns. If you fancy trying the most popular dish, go for the Willis Burger, it’s grass-fed beef, Conecuh bacon, gorgonzola, fig mostarda, arugula and truffle yogurt. Fancy for a food truck!
- Smoke-N-Hot BBQ
Smoke-N-Hot BBQ, located in Anniston, prides itself on using the freshest ingredients. Its use of authentic Southern and Irish recipes into each dish plays a role in earning it the title of the “Taste of Calhoun Best BBQ”. Main entrees include rib tips and smoked chicken, and its sides include Irish coleslaw and Irish potato salad.
- The Deep Blue Seafood Truck
The Deep Blue Seafood Truck dishes up the fresh seafood straight from the Gulf. Think crispy fried shrimp to seafood po-boys, this truck serves up the perfect meal to complement your beach trip. A crowd favourite is the fish tacos with Triggerfish covered in slaw and the restaurant’s special sauce.
