Wheels and Mortar: Sarge’s

by Wandering Sheppard, posted in Wheels and Mortar

The Wheels and Mortar series will focus on trucks that have a brick-and-mortar presence.  As trucks develop new strategies that incorporate buildings in addition to their mobile locations, this series will focus on those more permanent/less-mobile strategies.  This segment looks at the Caribbean-Asian fusion concept, Sarge’s. Sarge’s came from the Sarge’s Chef on Wheels truck, which is a fan favorite from its spin on Shrimp and Grits and Shrimp Po’Boy.

Behind The Wheel: Belgian Waffology

by Wandering Sheppard, posted in Behind The Wheel, Food, Food Trucks

One of the great advantages of food trucks is that owners are on the truck daily. This brings a tight bond between the owner and their hungry patrons. Since many of us only get that small time between ordering and grabbing our food, I wanted to help bring us together. That’s when I got the idea, Behind The Wheel. Gets me back to telling the story and further enjoying – being around food trucks. This week I highlight Belgian Waffology.

When it comes to finding Food Trucks: Where you app?

by Wandering Sheppard, posted in Food Trucks

Two years ago, I finally came across food trucks and that day changed my life.  After that Doughman banquet, I started Googling food trucks and asking on Facebook where to find trucks.  I got a wide array of choices.  My first food truck radar was Carpe Durham’s website.  A great recommendation from a friend, but it only gave me so much.  Soon, I came across Truxie and then Trackin’ Trucks.  When HungerFi released earlier this year, I thought it was time to look at the specific apps.

Durham Central Park Rodeo

Live Music (Big Brotha Thunda performing), lawns to relax on, Food Trucks, and local Beer – That’s what to like about Durham’s rodeo.  Over 40 trucks parked around Durham Central Park, which are listed in the map above. Rodeo is on from 12-4pm and the address is 501 Foster Street, Durham.

 

Here’s a few recommendations:

  • Get there early. With Foster Street closed around the old Liberty Drive-in, some of your favorite parking spots may not be available.  Parking is one area where I can’t provide value.
  • Bring a chair.  There are a few seats around the park, but bring a chair or a picnic blanket and enjoy yourself.
  • If it’s too crowded, Fullsteam is only a few blocks down Rigsbee.  They have plenty of seating inside and outside to sit down.
  • Beer Durham is doing a promotion on Sunday.  For the 13 oz price, you can get a 16 oz pint and keep a really cool glass.  They are in the Measurement Inc building located at 404 Hunt Street, a block from the Durham Central Park.
