Food truck sighting of the day would definitely go out to the mobile shaved ice truck which has been insanely popular though out the summer’s beating heat, Enticed.

The votes are in and the people have spoken. It was a hot and contested week with the People’s Choice Award for Best DFW Food Truck. There were ten times more votes for this category than any other we have done so far.
Played honorably, the various trucks sent in teams of their followers to vote and it worked well. Seems food trucks have a stronger loyalty than any other business if this non-scientific voting procedure dictates anything. Continue reading

This weekend we stumbled upon the CityArt’s Festival at Fair Park. It was Saturday afternoon and my little band of gypsies had just dined on Jimmy’s Food Store sandwiches and spent some time with Tom Spicer sipping Prosecco on his fairly new patio deck behind Spiceman’s FM 1410 shop. We were so close to Fair Park it would have been a miscarriage of justice not to stop in and see what was cooking at the festival. Continue reading
