Mid-South Food Truck Festival

Ahhh my new favorite festival!!! I know this was just the first year, but with a turnout like that, this is sure to get better and better.
With 43 food trucks and vendors, Tiger Lane was absolutely hopping and I was lucky enough to be a judge… which means I got to eat EIGHT different dishes from competing food trucks… and it was extremely difficult to choose a winner because they were all incredibly delicious. (Spoiler alert: The Meltdown from St. Louis won with their grilled cheese!)
The festival benefited Literacy Mid-​South and attendees could come for FREE. The only thing that cost anything was food (duh) and $ 10 for VIP parking. I did a couple of laps and was continually impressed with how many new MEMPHIS food trucks there are — and they are yummy (seriously, before this weekend, I only knew of three)! Food trucks might just be my new addiction.
Word to the wise: Get here early before the lines get too long and they run out of food.
