Any suggestions for either new categories or new entries in old ones?
I have a friend who is starting up a Food Truck... not quite off the ground for his business, but thought it might be a good category. If we have done this one before, I don't remember.

Smoke Ring BBQ is pretty good in my opinion.

They hang out here in Forest quite a bit and were at the Homecoming Carnival last year.

There's a food truck that does apple cinnamon donuts and coffee. Can't remember the name of it, but it's pretty dang good.

That's Momma Crocket's. Never thought I would find a place whose apple cider donuts could even come close to Milburn.

Every Thursday Miller Park has food truck day. Seems there are quite a few there from what I've seen on news reports.

What was the name of the place in the old Hilton that CJ was extolling?
And if there are places that have bit the dust since last summer, please list them here as well.

And it's good. That 'Food Truck Thursday' promotion is great.

Can I assume that Cheesy Rider is Haize's grilled cheese truck?

I've only had the Taco Shark Food Truck and Mama Crockett's Cider Donuts. I'll never do the Taco Shark Food truck again... I found a piece of glass in my 3 yr old daughter's taco. It wasn't just some small piece... it was a little smaller than a dime.
The donuts are great though...

Trying my best to translate for my WVU brother:
"If it were, I would most certainly be bankrupt from eating all their delicious culinary merchandise."

There's also the Canopy Food Truck, the owners of which just opened Crisp on Church St. MayLynne's ice cream in Boonesboro is now portable for events as well. I know there's a cupcake food truck, and a burger one, just don't know the names. I think there are a few others as well.
