Tally's Food Truck Thursday
My friends in Tallahassee have a little tradition, on thursdays they go for a nice picnic style dinner to Lake Ella. On that day, several food trucks set up on a lawn behind the cottages and serve internationally inspired and authentic street food style dishes including Puerto Rican and Cambodian cuisine. These food trucks are part of Tallahassee Food Truck Association and Lake Ella's Merchant Association. You can bring some lawn chairs or a blanket and a cooler and enjoy your picnic. They even have a little stage with different local bands playing.The area ist just beautiful. The first time I visited my friends I went to Lake Ella and enjoyed a nice relaxed afternoon reading my book at the lakeside coffee shop Black Dog Cafe. After that, my friends took me to the Food Truck Thursday to let me be part of their tradition. This is such a great idea to spent a relaxed Thursday evening dinner :)
Food Trucks (may not be a complete list):
- Street Chefs (Burger and Wraps, family classics)
- Fried Up Pizza, El Criollo Grill (Puerto Rican cuisine)
- Lasang Pinoy (Philippine cuisine)
- Julio's On The Move (Puerto Rican food in a 1968 30'Airstream camper converted to a food truck)
- Valhalla Grill (gourmet sandwich/wraps with flavors from around the world)
- Dany's Cambodian Cuisine
- And I was told you may even find a cupcake van :)
Sugar Rush
And just in case you cannot find the cupcake van, there are several nice other dessert options in Tallahassee. If you want to go extraordinary, got to Sugar Rush. This place is an experience in itself. You can order unique milkshakes with toppings such as cupcakes or birthday cakes :) There are "Unicorns", "Cookie Monsters", "Cereal Killers"... My friends ordered the "S'Mores" milkshake - chocolate ice cream with graham crackers, a syringe full of hot fudge, and roasted jumbo marshmellows. The cup is also dipped in chocolate and graham crackers.
