The Food Network Names Georgia Food Truck One of the Best
One Georgia food truck has been named one of the best in America by the experts at the Food Network. Food trucks are really all the rage right now. I’m always excited to try a new food truck and am rarely disappointed. Over the summer, I was at a music festival and ordered a hummus sandwich from a food truck I had never heard of, and it was literally one of the best hummus sandwiches I’ve ever had. So, you never know what magical item you’ll find at a food truck. If you’re looking for an amazing food truck in Georgia, here you go.
America’s Best Food Trucks
The Food Network has scoured the country in search of the best food trucks. They picked 26 to highlight in a new article, and one of them is in Georgia. “While certain cities have emerged as major food truck hubs (think Austin, Portland and LA), they’re hardly the only spots where you can score incredible meals on wheels,” the Food Network notes. “Join us on a road trip of America’s best on-the-go eats.” The Food Network, of course, are experts at all things food, so you can trust what they say about food trucks. It’s fascinating to look through their tally of food trucks and see all the different kinds of food offered.
So, which Georgia food truck made the cut? It’s Blaxican Food Truck in Atlanta. “It’s everything you’d expect (and crave) from a truck that serves Mexican soul food,” the Food Network states. They add that, “Besides keeping Atlanta patrons well satiated with shrimp and jalapeno cheese grits tostadas, tips from the truck and donations from the website go toward feeding needy residents throughout the city, through organizations like the Peachtree-Pine Shelter, My Sister’s House Shelter and East Point Christian Church.” That’s so great. I’m so happy a place like this is getting spotlighted, because they deserve it.
Blaxican’s story is special. “They say that a name is as good as gold, and in the case of The Blaxican it is true,” they explain on their website. “When I decided to create my food truck concept of Mexican soul-food, I remembered a name a friend of mine from L.A. once called me. The name is a slang word used to describe bi-racial people of Mexican and African-American decent. Although it has some shock value, I believe it is the perfect word to describe our culinary style.”
