Until recently, I did not know Keith well enough to call him a dreamer. (By the way, he's not a Pastafarian, that I know of.) I now know that Keith has two dreams. Dream One is to rebuild an old Italian scooter and to race it from Alaska to the Big Easy. Dream Two (the one important to this post) is to have his own coffee cart and to sell phenomenal coffee to the good people of our town. I don't know that he wants to pedal his cart, but I do know that he creates some very tasty beverages.
Lately, it seems that several of my friends have been talking about food trucks and vending carts in Lubbock, so I started looking around.
Yelp thinks we have no food trucks at all:
But the Twist'd Texan would seem to disagree:

When searching for the best food truck in Lubbock, I found that the best Lubbock food truck is actually located in NY, NY, and most of the rest don't actually have wheels.

That might be because of the Lubbock ban on them and the obstacles that businesses like Crusty's Wood-Fired Pizza have faced here in the Hub City:

So Keith, Grizz, JB, and all you other food truck hopefuls, I don't know what to tell you guys about following your food truck dreams, but I promise to be a customer if and when it happens.
Dear Reader, what other food trucks have you seen around here? What foods would you like to see rolling up to a location near you?
Have yourself a wonderful day and be sure to support your local businesses - especially if they have wheels.
