Austin’s eccentric, delectable, and most importantly, community-supported food trailer scene has seen an impressive amount of growth over the past few years. Trailers all throughout town have garnered national attention in the latest forms of media including print, web and television.
The latest spotlight to shine upon trailers was that of the Cooking Channel’s hit television show, Eat St. James Cunningham, the host, travels North America to locate, sample and share the most mouth-watering street food eats in all the land. Season 1 of the series featured Austin’s own Izzoz Tacos, G’raj Mahal, Lucky J’s, El Naranjo and Chi’Lantro. The sheer number of trailers in the Austin street food scene left a lot of trailers out of the first season. No worries though…
