Perhaps the Food Network show The Great Food Truck Race or the search for different foods has spurred the growing interest in food trucks nationwide. Whatever the reason, Food Trucks have become a mainstay here in Winston-Salem. With many different cuisines and types of food represented, everyone can find something they like at these rolling restaurants.
Food Trucks At Breweries, Parks, Vineyards, And Street Corners
Many breweries and bars host food trucks at their locations to provide food when they do not have kitchens. It is a great way to experience a variety of trucks, as there might be a different one each time you go. Vineyards, too, especially if they have live music or other events, will have a food truck or two for patrons to enjoy delicious food while sipping their wine. Movies in the Park, Concerts, and other special events always have food trucks on hand to satisfy the appetites of those attending. Food Trucks can also be found at different locations around the city, some at the same site regularly, so once you find them, you can always go back for more.

The park would be able to accommodate 17 to 20 trucks along with picnic tables, and there would be security cameras and lights. He will also hold scheduled events at the park, including live music and movie nights. Also in Bell’s plans are a commissary kitchen and 13,000 event space across the street in a building he owns. The food truck vendors could use the kitchen to store and prepare food, and the event space could be used for public and private events, possibly catered by the food trucks. Check back for updates.
