Guide to Orlando Food Trucks Part 1
5 Gastronomy
5 Gastronomy serves the best fries in all of Orlando! After perfectly frying them, they are tossed in fantastic herb-spiced oil! They are out of this world! They also create some pretty rockin' mac-n-cheese and 48 hour braised pork tacos! All are must haves!

The Batter Bowl
The Batter Bowl offers several decadent and creative desserts. Everything I've tried has been completely delightful! One of their most popular items is the Red Velvet Push Pop. Just like one of the frozen treats from your childhood ice cream truck, but this one is filled with moist red velvet cake layered with cream cheese icing. Absolute genius! They also create a to-die-for peanut butter mouse covered in chocolate ganache and crushed peanuts. Without a doubt, one of my favorite dessert trucks!

Big Wheel Provisions
Big Wheel is my absolute favorite food truck in Orlando! They are always on the cutting edge, cooking up anything from their Soft-Shelled Crab BLT (which is completely amazing) to their Carbonara Lasagna! Most everything that comes from this truck will send your taste buds soaring!!

C&S Brisket Bus
No matter what you get from these guys, make sure it includes their wonderful brisket covered in their BBQ sauce. They take their time to ensure it is moist, tender and full of flavor. My favorite is called the Tex-Mex. It starts with their delectable smoked brisket covered in their special sauce, jalapenos and cheddar cheese all on top of buttery Texas toast. Definitely some of the best brisket in Orlando!

Caro-Bama BBQ
Caro-Bama knocks it out of the park! Their BBQ is tender and flavorful but what puts them in a league of their own is their variety of magnificent sauces. My favorites are their Bama White Sauce (creamy BBQ sauce with a hint of tang created in North Alabama) and their Carolina Vinegar Sauce (classic vinegar based sauce born in the Carolinas) all on top of their mouthwatering pulled pork sandwich. Make sure to grab a fork - you're gonna need it!!

Cafe Rouge Express
Cafe Rouge is known for their Fish and Chips, for good reason. The Orlando Sentinel put them on the map stating that these were the best fish and chips in town. After experiencing them, I must agree! The fish was seasoned like none other I've ever tasted and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Definitely a winner!!

CK Jerk Shack Island BBQ
Island BBQ offers many items such as smoked chicken, pulled pork, grilled shrimp and snapper. They also offer a variety of sauces ranging from American style BBQ to curry based sauces. All of which accompany their smoked creations wonderfully. My ideal pairing is their succulent pulled pork with their spicy BBQ sauce - Heavenly! They also offer many yummy apps. One standout is their Jamaican patties stuffed with curried chicken or beef!

The Crepe Company
The Crepe Company has a crepe for every occasion - savory entrée crepes that are perfect for any meal and sweet crepes which are the perfect end to any meal. They offer such options as their Monte Cristo Crepe containing honey ham, smoked turkey, cheddar cheese, lettuce and raspberry preserves and also their Sunrise breakfast crepe containing eggs, ham, hash browns and cheddar cheese – a remarkable way start to any day! My fave is their S'mores dessert crepe filled with Nutella, marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate sauce!! So incredibly yummy!!

The Crooked Spoon
They create some of the tastiest burgers offered in Orlando. The one that tops my list is their self-proclaimed Crooked Spoon Burger. It is an incredibly seasoned Angus burger topped with Swiss cheese, caramelized onions and a ridiculously awesome chipotle sauce! All on top of a toasted brioche bun! I crave this burger on a daily basis. Another popular burger they create is called the 420 burger. It also starts with an Angus beef burger but then adds pineapple relish, candied bacon, Swiss cheese, and honey whole grain mustard also on a brioche bun! Amazing!! They serve a very tasty mac-n-cheese too!
Dixieland Diner Food Truck
The Dixieland Diner food truck specializes in Southern cuisine. My first visit was appropriately on Fat Tuesday and I was definitely in the mood for some Cajun cookin'! Their menu consisted of shrimp and to-die-for grits, perfectly fried boudin balls, fantastic jambalaya, and their fabulous beignets! I simply could not decide which item I was craving more, so I ordered one of everything! I may be a little bias considering I'm from Louisiana but I can assure you, all of their dishes are completely amazing! A definite must!
