Now this is one hell of a great idea! RoamingHunger.com is a site dedicated to those lovely little food trucks we’ve heard so much about.
While these little wandering snack shacks are noticeably absent from Atlanta’s dining scene (since the demise of Via Elisa), this is a great site for the foodie on you. [sic ;-)] Roaming Hunger is a glorified twitter aggregator that tracks the daily location of roughly 200 trucks. It comes complete with user ratings and little tidbits about each truck.
Food trucks are a trend that has grown from underground “coolness” into on the cusp of being overdone. I’m sure it will definitely hit here sometime … but for now, we have Ketel One vodka’s alcohol-free truck on the loose. Top Chef’s Ilan Hall is behind the wheel on that. Meanwhile, Taco Bell got busy, and Ingrid Hoffmann (of the Food Network) is doing it up Miami style.

Just spoke with Magnolia Bread Co owner at an event this weekend. They are coming outwith a green van food truck. The owner said they will be posted at at different spots around the ATL at lunch. All sandwichs with locally sourced meats, veggies, cheeses, and the bread is obviously Magnolia Bread. Just googled website: http://the-green-van.com/?m=200912
