Food Truck Rally

Food truck rally in st petersburg largo

Spending a Saturday evening trying new food in new places is the way to go. I'm still trying to explore St. Petersburg and find new things to love about this growing city. Yesterday, my sister, niece and I went to a food truck rally that also happened to be serving some wine (yum). I love these small community gatherings and being able to meet so many friendly people! Our first stop was at the Flying Sliders truck. It was amazing! They have cute little gourmet burgers that packs a huge punch with each bite. We tried 3 different sliders for only $10. We also bounced to other food trucks and tents to try other things like zucchini fries and grabbed some wine. I'm still a newbie when it comes to wine, but yesterday I learned I do not like dry wine and I DO like lambrusco. It was such a nice sunshine-y day to walk around and listen to the live band while trying new food...

Asian style pulled pork.  Don't mind my un-manicuted nails! I think it gives it character? no?

.... And then it poured out of nowhere and we were stuck underneath a tent for half an hour. At least we were surrounded by good company. Oh, and wine.

  2. Your post makes me think of the show Eat Street. I always get so hungry after watching that show and crave a pulled pork sandwich! Wish there were food caravans like this near me. Looks like you had a great time and those sliders look delish! I`ve never heard of lambrusco wine before so I will be checking it out as I`m pretty new to wine too (don`t like dry wine either)btw, thanks for commenting on my blog,hope you`ve cleaned out those shampoo bottles from your bath;)

    1. Oh, yes, Lambrusco is sweet and sparkly which makes it easy to drink, at least for me! Let me know how you like it!
