Food Truck Fridays is Reno’s original gathering of mobile eateries. The event is back for the 2013 season with an amazing mix of meals and treats on wheels. Food Truck Fridays happens in downtown Reno at the CitiCenter Plaza (site of the old CitiCenter bus terminal), 40 E. 4th Street (corner of E. 4th and N. Center Street), across from the National Bowling Stadium.
For 2013, Food Truck Fridays began on April 5 and will repeat every first and third Friday through October. The trucks will be gathered and serving up their specialties from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Over the season, participating trucks will include GourMelt Grilled Cheese, Kenji’s, Sauce Wagon, Red Truck Tahoe, Traffic Jam, Mellow Yellow Food, Lazy Sundae, Battle Born, Wafle Wagon, St. Lawrence Pizza Co., Island Ice, Mount MoGrit, and Taster’s Paradise. Along with all the food, there will be live music provided by local talent. The beer garden is back with local brews served up by Great Basin Brewing Co. The Tumblebus will be there to provide entertainment for the kids. Come on down, enjoy the food and fun, and support local business.
If you’ve yet to attend Food Truck Fridays, check out my photo gallery from the very first event in 2012.
There is another food truck event in town called Reno Street Food. According to the Reno Gazette-Journal, this event will be at Idlewild Park every other Friday from May 24 to October 4. A check of their website and Facebook page shows nothing new entered for 2013, so I’m not really sure if this is going to come off or not.
