About:
Sunday dinner is served! Each month in Oviedo, TheDailyCity.com gathers NINETEEN of the area's best food trucks, carts and wagons from Orlando's growing food truck scene in one spot for a family-friendly, all-ages evening of sampling and snacking. And this ain't fast food, people! This is gourmet goodness: chefs, cooks, foodies all prepping and cooking delicious fresh food for you. NO FAST FOOD! Free admission.
Tips:
Think tailgating because seating is not provided: bring chairs, tables, blankets. Lines will be long so bring friends and send them each to one truck to order some food, meet back and everyone share in one gigantic sampling meal. The early birds get the worm, but so do the late ones: show up after the rush for shorter lines. BRING CASH. Some vendors take credit, others do not. It will be hot (hello it's July in Orlando) so be prepared.

History
TheDailyCity.com has been a proponent of food trucks dating back to 2009 when we started hosting food truck meetups called Taco Truck Taste Tests. We'd ask readers to meet us at trucks all over the city, one truck at a time, and try the food, explore new parts of the city, support small businesses The goal was to raise awareness of our city's food trucks.
Also in 2009, we took the idea of food trucks and thought, "If you can sell food from a vehicle, what else can you sell?" and launched TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show, a monthly show in downtown Orlando that takes place in a moving van.
In 2010, we read about the Hells Kitchen Food Truck Bazaar, loved the idea, but thought it was a bit too ambitious for us to tackle. So, we blogged about it and left it at that. In January 2011, the owner of Red Eye BBQ food truck suggested we were the ideal people to put on a food truck event like the gatherings happening in Miami and across the country. With his vote of confidence, we made an official announcement February 2, 2011 and watched it come to life for the very first time on March 29, 2011.
