Food Truck Frenzy

     I enjoy traveling our great nation in search of culinary events.  But occasionally there are fun foodie happenings right in my own back yard.  Such was the case on Saturday.  In neighboring Valley Forge the casino there hosted a food truck competition that was sponsored by a local sports radio station.

     There were 7 finalists from among the dozens of Philly food trucks on the street.  They ringed the pool and faux beach on the casino property and were prepared to provide free samples of their cooking.  And it was an interesting variety of food.  Asian chicken wings, Italian meatballs, Brazilian steak, donuts, fried dough dessert pies, fish tacos and pulled pork were all on the menu.

     As the crowd lined up and patiently waited for their sample a system developed.  Once you received the sample you walked right over to the next line and tasted the last one as you patiently waited for the next one.  And just about the time you were finished the last one you got the next one.  It took me about an hour to complete the circuit.  Along the way I met some very nice folks and enjoyed the time spent in conversation.

     Not sure who was crowned the ultimate Food Truck Champion.  But it didn't matter!  They were all winners as far as I was concerned.
