Chow Down food trucks in South End tonight

Food trucks are booming in popularity nationwide, and Charlotte is forging ahead, a little late to the party, but rising fast. Most local truck operators still have some work to do with Facebook and Twitter updates (Dudes, we need to know where you are! Right now!), but they are worth tracking down for some fast, unusual food.

We have to say, the city has some very creative food trucks, both as far as names go, and in fare offered. The latest of the City Center Partners sponsored food truck rodeos takes place right on the edge of Dilworth, at Atherton Mill tonight. So come on down for a pork belly taco, a fried deviled egg, and a Bananrama cupcake.
What a meal!

The popular Chow Down Food Truck Rodeo comes to South End this Thursday, October 27 from 5pm-9pm right outside Icehouse in the parking lot of Atherton Mill (2000 South Blvd).
Trucks scheduled for this Thursday:
 Expect a few more to join in between now and then.
Tons of free parking at Atherton Mill and super easy to get to by car, light rail (East/West Stop), bike, walk or pogo stick. This Chow Down, like the one at NC Music Factory, is NOT a BYOB event. All alcohol sales go through Icehouse.
