Is anyone else excited about how many food trucks are popping up? I LOVE this trend! The Food Network and The Travel Channel air episodes featuring food trucks and it always peaks my interest. It's great to see this movement more and more in the Baltimore area.

From Tacos to Grilled Cheese - these trucks are serving up gourmet eats in the Baltimore area. The best way to find out where they are or plan to be is to follow them on twitter (some on Facebook).

Some of the trucks I have had the pleasure of visiting, and the food I ordered:The Silver Platter - awesome lobster mac & cheese The Gypsy Queen Cafe - red velvet waffles with cream cheese icing GrrChe -grilled cheese with tomato & bacon

Even MORE great news is that these cool trucks get together to have "food courts" and special events, such as "The Gathering," to raise money for a cause. The next "Gathering" will be held on friday September 2, 2011. The location is TBD. Visit The Silver Platter's Facebook page for more information. Here are the list of local food trucks I know of (and their twitter pages)
