<\/a>As I posted about this past weekend, the Arkansas Main Street Food Festival ran from 11am to 7pm Saturday and featured music, crafts, and of course, food trucks!<\/p>\nMy wife and I showed up at 11:30am, which turned out to be the perfect time, as we were able to try out a few food trucks before the crowd formed.\u00a0 Main street was blocked off with room for a live band, several arts and craft stands, and eight or so food trucks.\u00a0 Who knew there\u00a0were so many food trucks in the Little Rock area?<\/p>\n
The first band was, well, not so great, but the second band to play had a good jazz sound and was quite enjoyable.\u00a0 By the time we left at 1:30 the place was packed with lines snaking around the block for each truck.<\/p>\n
So, how was the food?<\/p>\n
Green Cuisine<\/strong> \u2013 A vegetarian food truck!\u00a0 I did not know such things exist but the food was quite good.\u00a0 I had the Philly Cheesesteak which was made with mushrooms instead of steak.\u00a0 It was very flavorful, messy to eat, and overall tasted great.\u00a0 The wait was insanely long though.\u00a0 I guess\u00a0they are not used to having many customers as it took nearly 15 minutes to receive my sandwich.<\/p>\n Mike\u2019s Hot Dog Cart<\/strong> \u2013 The hot-dog may have tasted good but the Sam\u2019s Club Cole-Slaw and bottled BBQ Sauce (Catleman\u2019s,) overwhelmed the hot-dog.\u00a0 I ate one bite and threw the rest away.\u00a0 Granted, I am comparing to the dogs I get in Chicago..but still..<\/p>\n Grills on Wheels<\/strong> \u2013 By FAR the best food I tried at the festival.\u00a0 \u00a0Grills on Wheels has the best barbacoa and asada soft-corn tacos in the city.\u00a0 They actually beat out my favorite place on 65th street and their barbacoa taco puts Chipotle to shame.\u00a0 I am going to search this place out in the future.\u00a0 Best tacos in the city.<\/p>\n Wishbones<\/strong> \u2013 I tried four of their sliders including the fried bologna, lean beef, and chicken varieties.\u00a0 They were all cold, messy, and tasted like something from a school cafeteria.\u00a0 The lady taking the order was very nice, and the crew was working feverishly in the back, but the food did not impress.<\/p>\n Le Pops gourmet Popcicles<\/strong> \u2013 A cart with homemade popsicles.\u00a0 I had the salty caramel popsickle and it was divine.\u00a0 Very creamy with a wonderful flavor.\u00a0 I do not consider popsickles \u201cfood\u201d per se but their fare was one of my favorite.<\/p>\n I wish I could have tried more of the trucks but by the time I received my food from the four, huge lines had formed at the other trucks.\u00a0 It took almost two hours to try four vendors, which tells me they need to work on their speed of delivery.\u00a0 Even with the wait I am happy to have found Green Cuisine and Grills on Wheels.\u00a0 Now to figure out where they are parked during the week!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
