Ms. Villain walked away with the victory via a concoction dubbed Sweet Heat Meat.

Tom Ramsey's back in the news.

We've been covering the Snappy Snacks food truck magnate's maneuverings for years and now he's back in the headlines with his attempt to launch a new food truck court in Pflugerville.

Tom Ramsey we hardly knew ye....but we did; all too well.

Austin Food Carts is a great resource for people trying, most likely in vain, to keep up with Austin's food truck, food trailer and food cart scene.

Good luck y'all.

With just under 1300 mobile restaurants in town you could eat at almost 4 per day for a year without repeating a single visit.

We were first in line.

When word got around town back in Winter of 2011, that former Jeffrey's chef Ray Tatum was back in the game, and about to open his own pig-based food truck, we started foaming at the mouth at the chance to sit down once again at the table of the legend.

Game changer.

Sad day in unincorporated Travis County, Texas. We made a run down fm 812 yesterday to reconnoiter the rural taco truck scene and see if some of our old favorites had stood the test of time.

El Asadero has gone silent.

Years back, I did a lengthy series on the food carts of unincorporated Travis County. I'd been on some long bike runs down fm 812 and fm 973 and noted that there was a mysterious abundance of taco trucks littering the side of the highways.

Odd Duck Farm To Trailer's rebirth is upon us. We're coming up on a full year without the little trailer that helped spark the modern food truck renaissance in Austin and it's been a tough row to hoe.

Yes, Barley Swine from Chef Bryce Gilmore is fine, but there was a certain magic to Odd Duck that did not make the trip down south Lamar when Gilmore opened up in the old Pie Slice location.

Brand new food trailer on Manor Road directly across from Hoover's Home Cooking. As is my custom, I visited when they were closed. A man had crawled up underneath the trailer and was repairing something so I stuck my head underneath to badger a few details out of him.

We're not sure what the open date will be as Austin Daily Press website domain has expired, but signage is up on the building directly behind The Wet Whistle at the intersection of E. MLK and Chicon.

With Adam Bryan's tiny cocktail bar Motel slated to open on the same block, East Austin is getting more interesting by the minute.
