Food Trucks and trails Food Trucks and trails are all about their foodie travels. Whether you’re in the mood to make a road trip out of your foodie excursions and try out the top food trails of America, or if you’re more into the food coming to you on wheels, complete with a restaurant-quality flat- top, these two brightly shining stars of the culinary world are yours for the taking – or ordering, that is. Food trucks have come a long way from serving up boiled hot dogs and paper-wrapped sandwiches. If you’re in the mood for a unique food truck that tops almost all the rest across the country, head to Nashville for some outrageous grilled cheese creations. The Grilled Cheeserie food truck is serving up some clas- sic favorites, and some new spins on the classic itself. Specialty melts, kettle chips, salads, and even a milk- shake bar make this food truck unlike any other. Run by a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, the Grilled Cheeserie is not only a local favorite, but a food truck that Americans across the states are raving about. They have been featured on the Food Network’s hit series Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and they have been voted the “Best Food Truck” six years in a row by The Tennessean. Be sure to check them out online for the full menu and the truck’s route.
