Cowtown Chow Down-While Dallas has yet to get its first food truck park, Fort Worth is already in the throes of opening its second, due in early April. This new Food Truck Park is going up between the Fort Worth Stockyards and the Downtown Cultural District at 1100 N. Main. They're promising live entertainment from local musicians, free wi-fi, indoor/outdoor dining areas and an 'arts and crafts corner' to display the work of local artisans. Their website has the following gourmet food trucks confirmed to rotate in and out:
•The Bacon Wagon•Crazy Sisters
•The Butchers Son
•Dough Boys Pizza
•Eat Jo Dawgs
•Gandolfo's NY Deli
•In a Pickle
•Snoball Corral
•Sassy Hot Dogs
•Yum Yum Food Truck
•Zombie's Food Truck
ROCK'N RICK'S-New Braunfels based builder Kitchen on Wheels will be putting the finishing touches on this new food truck from Ricky Minter. The offerings will include breakfast tacos and omelets for breakfast as well as flatbreads, hamburgers and gourmet sandwiches. When possible, they will use only local ingredients and the menu will change up seasonally. They plan to hold court in the Dallas and Forney areas beginning in early May.
Cafe Con Leche Dallas-There's nothing Dallas loves more than an LA import and we'll soon add another one with Cuban cuisine truck Cafe Con Leche Dallas. They will be hitting the streets of Big D in 3-4 weeks and will make public stops as well as cater private parties. They also want to note that they have unlimited menu possibilites for private catering events.
Three Lions Truck-Soon you'll have no reason to book a nine hour flight to Heathrow just to get your favorite traditional English fare. I have no gauge of when they'll be rolling except for "very soon", but check out their website and follow them on Twitter at @threelionstruck or on Facebook.
Society Bakery-A perennial Dallas favorite for their decadent desserts and cupcakes with sky-high frosting, Society Bakery is wrapping up their build in collaboration with Cruising Kitchens out of San Antonio. While we would love for it to be a full-time Dallas operation, they'll be splitting their time between Dallas and San Antonio. We'll be sure and let you know when they're in the neighborhood.
Rockstar Bakeshop-We've been crossing our fingers for some time that RockStar Bakeshop would finally get its very own rig. After all, when you bake up the most ridiculously perfect whoopie pies, then you deserve more than moonlighting on everybody else's trucks! Rocktar Bakeshop will finally unveil "Layla" at their official Launch Party on March 9th. You can RSVP to the event here.
Burrito Baron-I know next to nothing, but sometimes this is how you find things out! Armand the burrito baron has a truck and his Twitter says that as of February 16th, they'll be done in 22 days in Denton. If you know more info, be my guest and fill us in on the comments section.
Potato Potahto-For the complete shakedown of all that this gourmet spud truck has to offer, see our last post. But, we thought we'd share a glamour shot of their newly finished truck anyway.
REVISED 2/29:
Formerly of Dough Boys Pizza Truck, Eliud Castro is striking gold on his own with Gepetto Pizzas, his new concept that is aiming to launch in Fort Worth next week. In addition to all the classics, Eliud is tossing up new pies topped with specialties like Wagyu beef, chicken poblano and smoked brisket. He's further expanding the menu with mini calzones and a prosciutto/bacon/chicken carbonara. To all the Dallas folks, not to worry; Eliud has set his sights on getting a permit in your neck of the woods, too.
