Trailer Food Succeeds in Austin

Austin, Texas has many "Weird" designations and I may be going out on a limb on this one, but I think Austin is the Trailer Food Capitol of the world. Years ago quirky restaurants in Windstreams and carts on wheels began popping up on South Congress and the surrounding area. To date I don't think one of those "Quirky" eateries ranging in variety from cup cakes to tacos to crepes -- has failed. Solid as a rock, all of them. Well, I just noticed a new Trailer Food establishment, this one on 5th Street - Downtown Austin (sort of) and it sounds tasty and yes, very "Quirky" -- sort of like a chuck wagon on fire -- Italian style. It seems if you sell your foodstuff on anything with wheels in Austin, it moves to success.
