We parked next door at the gas station and walked to the park. There was no parking fee or entrance fee. We made it there about 9 and there were about 5 vendors and many tables to sit and enjoy your food. There was also music playing. Slutty vegan seemed to be the only vendor with a line. When I'm talking line, I'm talking L-I-N-E!!!! As we were waiting, we ended up getting a spiked lemonade from one of the vendors and it wasn't spiked much. Lol After standing in line for 2 hours we're getting closer to the front, and then we hear "We're sold out."

I finally made it out to the Atlanta Food Truck Park last night despite living just around the…read morecorner. I had a great time and am really glad to see this place open in my neighborhood. Atlanta is better off for having food trucks (and this park, specifically). Despite the cloudy, on-and-off drizzly weather, the park had a good turnout of patrons between 7-9pm on a Thursday night. Thanks to those who braved the elements for our UYE (http://www.yelp.com/events/atlanta-atlanta-food-truck-park-uye). The food truck/food stand lineup was pretty good: Sweet Auburn BBQ Corn-a-Cue One Love Jerk Grill Metro City Dogs Lemonade Stand WOW! Food Truck Ibiza Bites Chay J's New Orleans Candies Rouxd Food Truck King of Pops Yum Yum Cupcake Verizon also had a stand. I've been following the park's official calendar (http://www.atlantafoodtruckpark.com/calendar/) over the past month and noticed Thursday nights are the ideal weeknight (excluding Fridays) to go for the most trucks and the best selection. I suspect there might have been more trucks last night if it wasn't for the weather. I ended up trying a little bit of everything: Arepas (Venezuelan sliders) from WOW! Food Truck Beef brisket with Asian pear slaw taco from Sweet Auburn BBQ Goat cheese-stuffed fried green tomatoes from Ibiza Bites Creole pretzels and Creole popcorn from Chay J's I'll be posting reviews for each of those trucks in the next few days. If you come for dinner, I recommend coming on the early side as the food trucks only have a limited supply of items and do sell out. This leads some trucks to close early. I saw many menus with marked off items that had sold out for the day. Yum Yum Cupcakes shut down early because they sold out of their cupcakes for the day. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much seating the park had. I counted 16 large picnic tables in the main "dining" area, most with umbrellas. Each picnic table can seat up to about 8 people each. The picnic tables are located on a flat, paved surface. The food trucks are located in a large gravel lot. This lot has 4 communal standing tables and 2 additional picnic tables. So overall, this spot has quite a bit of seating, which is convenient. Also, plenty of trash cans and recycling bins to keep the grounds looking relatively clean. The park is family and dog-friendly. It can be a little loud because you're around all these big trucks and next to busy Howell Mill Rd. You can BYOB, so save money by bringing your own drinks. If you want water, I saw some trucks selling it for $1 per bottle. There is one restroom and it's a "Johnny on the Spot" porta-potty in the parking lot with portable sink outside so you can wash your hands. There is ample free parking behind the park. Turn onto Emery St, next to the Shell Station on Howell Mill, to find it. If you need more detailed directions, check out the park's FAQ here: http://www.atlantafoodtruckpark.com/faqs/. The parking lot is old and filled with pot holes, so drive carefully. I saw someone puncture their car's tire by running over a broken-off metal sign post on the ground (she was trying to make too tight of a turn around the dining area). Note that every Wednesday and Friday night throughout the summer, the park will be playing movies for free. Also, from time to time, there is live music. On the weekends, there's a food market with rotating vendors and an artists market coming soon. Overall, I'm very happy with the Atlanta Food Truck Park and definitely plan on returning.

Fry-lovers, unite! I…read moreenjoy fries, but happen to love someone who is a big fry lover. Like, very serious about them and how they're cooked. Me, just give me the hot fries, skip the fancy. Well, Mr. Fancy Fry-lover asked me to grab him some while I visited The Works recently and I finally had the chance to checkout WTF/What the Fry. WTF is a food stand within The Works that really stands out. Featuring a variety of potato picks such as tots, waffle fries, curly fries, etc., the carbs are on 10 here. Beyond the potatoes themselves, WTF offers a variety of seasonings and toppings to flavor up your choice. Craving more tan just fries? They've got you covered there as well with tenders, fries and more. I decided to go with the straight fries w/ cajun seasoning ++ tots w/garlic parmesan and lemon pepper. Both were freshly fried and flavored, I only wish I had taken a seat to eat more on my own before I passed them onto him, lol. And the gentleman behind the counter was ON IT. He was tossing fries in seasoning, drizzling sauce on wings, all while making jokes and helping customers at the same time. Truly a good experience, I'll be back to enjoy more potatoes in all their glory.

In hindsight I don't think I've had such a thing since I was in high school, so that isn't a very fair comparison. Today the chef from The Hungry Peach was there. I opted for the barbecue pork sandwich combo, which came with some sort of mini peach dessert and a big cup of lemon tea (or something like it) for only $7. They also had pimento cheese sandwiches served on toasted bread with lettuce and tomato. Either would be the perfect thing for a hot Atlanta afternoon.

Friday Urban Picnics is run by the Atlanta Street Food Coalition, and held every last Friday of the month from March to October, 11-2pm. Location is the back of Sweet Auburn Curb Market. At today's picnic, I arrived around 11:45 and lucked out with finding a parking spot. Lines were very short too - but that all changed after 12. Good Food Truck and Yumbii were probably the most popular. Westside Creamery, The Pop Shop (or maybe it was The Pop Stop), and Black Tie BBQ were there, too. I think almost all items were under $10. Today I had Good Food's $5 Poodle which was to die for: French Toast hot dog bun, beef dog, apple maple slaw, ... and then they strongly encourage you to add maple syrup and spicy mustard. Whoa that was really yummy - messy to eat though and I had sticky fingers afterwards from the maple syrup but no complaints from me :) Next time I'm trying one of their savory cones filled w/ all kinds of goodies! The Indian rice crispy treat sounded intriguing, too (curry, coconut, and candied fennel seeds)! For dessert I had a $3 generous scoop of Westside Creamery's bourbon & bacon ice cream. Just a hint of bourbon flavor and surprisingly thick pieces of bacon throughout - honestly I was expecting bacon-infused flavor but my bad for expecting anything else but the real thing!! They had some great flavors to choose but I went with bourbon & bacon since the Westside guy said it was his favorite. I've already marked my calendar to make a field trip to the next several picnics b/c there are too many new things to try! Some tips: Bring cash. If you're lucky enough to find parking in the Sweet Auburn parking lot, it's free w/ validation - look for the table outside that validates tickets. Otherwise make a purchase inside to get parking validation. When I was driving back to work, I also found free parking available under the interstate - free for the first 90 minutes.

I want to give 4 stars because I love the concept, but I gotta take away one because I feel like…read morethere's lots of room for improvement. So I think every 2nd and 4th (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Saturday of the month, food trucks and food stands gather outside of Sweet Auburn Curb Market by the parking lot, to serve a large crowd of hungry Atlantans. When I was there, I remember seeing the Yumbii truck (korean bbq/mexican fusion), Good Food truck (fusion of different cuisines served in waffle cones), and a barbeque truck. Food stands served a variety of foods including cake pops, flavored boiled peanuts, tamales, chinese potstickers/buns, bottled drinks, and king of pops. There's definitely potential for more businesses to partake in the event. As food truck/street food culture becomes more popular, I'm sure the number of vendors at the Saturday Urban Picnic will increase, probably to the point that it would outgrow the location of where it's at right now. I also felt as though the quality of the food could be better. The ideas are clever, but the food doesn't compare to food from LA's food truck's.

As you'd expect from a "fast food" sushi stand at the food court, the sushi selection is simple and limited. The menu offers six main combos (rolls, nigiri, sashimi) and about a dozen different rolls (six pieces each). They serve standard inexpensive rolls, such as salmon, tuna, California, and various vegetable rolls and sides such as seaweed salad, edamame, and miso soup. Nothing too crazy. The combos run anywhere from $7-9. I tried their "Salmon & Maki" combo, which includes three pieces of the following rolls: salmon, tuna, (imitation) crab, and cucumber, and also five pieces of salmon sashimi. The sushi is served in a disposable tray (just like the ones you see at grocery stores) with a clump of wasabi and ginger. You get soy sauce yourself from what's really a drink dispenser. As mentioned above, the sushi is actually fresh. The rolls are a little small. It's not going to blow your socks off, but it's above-average from what you'd expect to find at a mall food court. Service can be slow when the shop is busy, but the sushi chefs are working feverishly at full capacity. Sarku is located directly at the bottom of the escalators, across from Chick-fil-A, at the food court at Lenox Square mall.
