Slow Food Truck is in the spotlight.

Sure, we think Slow Food Truck has some great grub. After all, we just named them "Best Food Truck" for their, "buttery lobster roll ($15, in season), filled with chunks of sweet, pink crustacean meat", among other things.

Soon, however, admiration for SFT will become global. Eat St., the Cooking Channel series that features food trucks in all their glory, has just aired their 62nd episode in Canada, featuring south Florida's own Slow Food Truck.

The Royal Wings food truck participated in Wellington's weekly round-up last Thursday night.

There's a new food truck in town specializing in a dish that not many have tackled via mobile kitchen: grilled chicken wings. Based out of Aventura, the truck hit the streets several weeks ago, proudly serving up fresh-grilled chicken wings in delightfully unique sauces.

For $10, owner Leanna Martinez -- also owner of the Dolce Gourmet Cupcakes truck -- will serve you eight jumbo wings grilled then doused in your choice of one of over 20 specialty, hand-crafted marinades.

Tyler Florence films an episode of Great Food Truck Race in Boston.

Attention south Florida food truckers -- or wannabes. If you dreamed of taking a truck coast to coast in a non-stop frenzy of challenges -- all for the chance to win $50,000, then you'll want to try out for season four of Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race, hosted by Tyler Florence.

Though the rules of the show have changed each season, the basic premise is that a team of one driver/chef and two staffers drive a food truck coast to coast, stopping at various cities along the way to sell their wares. The team with the most sales is declared the winner. There are, of course, roadblocks and detours encountered along the way. The last team standing is the winner.

The next time you're in the mood for an authentic Maine lobster roll, look for South Florida's new mobile kitchen, the Red Zeppelin Rockin' Lobster Roll. After hitting the streets last November, the crustacean-focused food truck based out of Dania Beach has been handing out some of the best around. A lobster roll smothered in lobster bisque? Who could resist?

The owners are a family team: Miami-born Bob Barnett and his daughter and mother, Heather Barnett and Robyn Rahman. Together, the trio rolled out their bright-red food truck late last year, selling several specialty dishes that include their own take on the famous New England-born sandwich.

B.C. Tacos via Facebook

B.C. Tacos is in the running for best food truck taco.

It's no surprise to anyone who's tasted a taco from B.C. Tacos that the blue truck that features Fred Flintstone's relatives has got a winning recipe for tasty food.

But even chef/owner Brett Chiavari was a little surprised when Mobile Cuisine named his truck one of the best ten taco truck in the country -- along with Miami competitor Jefe's Original Fish Tacos and Burgers. 

Being listed in the top ten, like being nominated for an Oscar, should be award enough. But as Lance Armstrong probably said many times -- there is no second place.

City of Sunrise (Screenshot)

Sunrise City Commissioners discuss food trucks.

Last evening's Sunrise Commission meeting was in sharp contrast to December's, which lasted only about two minutes. The January meeting lasted over four hours, with much of the time devoted to the possible ban or regulation of the mobile restaurants in the city's limits.

Food truck owners in attendance, many members of the newly formed Food Truck Alliance of South Florida, were given time to plead their cases, with most of them pointing out to the Commission that each truck was permitted, insured, and inspected.

Friar Tuck's owner will be at the Sunrise meeting.

The City of Sunrise will hold a discussion today to determine the fate of food trucks at their monthly City Commission meeting.

The meeting, held at Sunrise City Hall (10770 West Oakland Park Boulevard, Sunrise), held today, January 8  at 6 p.m., might just be a little more spirited than the typical monthly discussion of issues. 

That's because about 40 food truck owners and roundup organizers are expected to attend  in a show of solidarity. The truckers have formed the Food Truck Alliance of South Florida, a grassroots group whose first mission is to defeat the proposed ban on food trucks in Sunrise.

Food trucks' fate to be discussed on January 8.

Food trucks are considered by many to be a quick and fun way to feed a family. At local food truck roundups or in a park, food trucks serve up inexpensive fare to people in a hurry. Though they will never replace mom's home cooking or a luxurious anniversary meal, the food truck has its place in the south Florida dining scene....except, possibly, for Sunrise.

Since November, the City of Sunrise has been trying to get a discussion on the fate of food trucks on its Commission meeting agenda. 

The discussion, which was previously listed under "new business", would discuss whether food truck owners should have permitting, location and time restrictions imposed on them -- or whether the trucks should be banned from the city altogether.
