    One team, one mission. Elizabeth Gibbs, Steve Scott, and John Jones of Small Potatoes Mobile…read moreKitchen create quality cuisine while excelling in their efforts of sustainability. Their goal of having the greenest food truck in North Carolina is accomplished through several means. The most important of which is readily apparent in every aspect of their food, the use of local ingredients. Rocking F Farm's pork, Wesley Mills' sweet potatoes, and Woody's collards were a few of the NC farm fixings that Small Potatoes used in their lunch menu the day we visited. That afternoon was cold and blustery. It was the type of wind that made you look around expecting Mary Poppins to glide in with her umbrella. Along with Jerry and me, a host of hearty Small Potatoes food truck fans gathered on Linden Street in Winston Salem for a bowl of warm, filling soup. I had the Split Pea Soup. Intensely smoky ham complemented a rainbow of vegetables - carrot, skin on potato, celery, and red bell pepper. This bowl of comfort food was lightly seasoned so that the garden vegetables were the diva of the act. Jerry's Sesame Noodles with Pork had a mild broth, julienned pork, vibrant greens, rice noodles and a subtle pepper seasoning. Take a close look at your soup bowl next visit. The compostable paper bowls are lined with NatureWorks Ingeo, which is derived from plants grown in the USA. There's no plastic or wax lining. You'll love this news. Soup enthusiasts can enjoy a different Small Potatoes homemade soup every week with a Soupscription. The Omnivore option includes soups like Gumbo with Shrimp and Andouille, Cock-a-Leekie, and Smoked Bacon & Bean while the Vegan Soupscription has Curried Winter Squash, Roasted Tomato Fennel, and Tuscan Kale & White Bean. Picks up spots include the Greensboro Children's Museum, Krankie's Airstream in Winston, and the UNC campus Chapel Hill. My Moroccan Style Chicken Hand Pie had a golden thin crust that didn't overwhelm the spiced filling. Chock-full of chicken, dotted with red bell pepper, and bursting with flavor, I am adding this to my favorites list. The menu changes to use seasonally available ingredients, so be sure to try this pie whenever it's an option. Jerry had the Kasha, Mushroom, Greens & Cheese Hand Pie. The cheese really came through in this savory pie (I am guessing it might be from the Goat Lady Dairy). The flaky crust and meaty texture of the mushrooms unify with the greens and kasha. We shared the Apple Pie. Sliced apples with a hint of cinnamon in their natural sweetness made a rustic dessert on-the-go. The Gourmet Grilled Cheese had three cheeses oozing over the edges of buttery, crunchy grilled bread. I'll be keeping a close eye on their Facebook posts to see when they have a Roasted Tomato soup this summer. I can only image how delicious that combination will be! Jerry had the Braised Pork Sandwich. Tomato, onion and carrot were braised with the lean pork. The tender, shredded pork was mounded high on a toasted Brioche bun. All sandwiches were served with Tortilla Chips. On Saturday's, Small Potatoes Mobile Kitchen is at Krankie's Airstream Coffee Park in Winston Salem from 12-3 pm. They always have a vegan option, a vegetarian option, something gluten-free and soups. Make a difference. Eat local and dine with Small Potatoes, an environmentally Green food truck that supports local farmers.

    My niece sent me here while I was visiting and I shall forever be grateful. Best doughnuts and soft…read morepretzels I have ever had anywhere. ANYWHERE! The doughnuts are double the size of most doughnuts and doubly good. The pretzels are huge, butter basted, warm and delicious. It's not inexpensive but the tastes will cure you of any sticker shock. I spent $40+ for 1/2 dozen regular-1/2 dozen chocolate dipped doughnuts and 6 pretzels with dipping sauces and didn't regret a penny of what I spent. Came back on my way out of town and got a pretzel dog and pretzel for breakfast as well as some doughnuts for later. The food trailer in some of the pictures has been replaced by a building on the edge of Troyer's parking lot. You order at the window and most times there's going to be a line. It's a takeout business so you are on your own if you want to eat right away. The folks are friendly and efficient and orders are filled quickly once you get to the window. If you want to get a preview just search Auntie Ruth's on YouTube and enjoy. It's how I learned that there are a bunch of them in East Tennessee. I just know that if I didn't have enough incentive already to visit my niece then Auntie Ruth's finishes the job.

It seems that they glaze all of them and then they top it with which ever one you decide. I got the espresso one but ended up wiping off most of the frosting because it's just too sweet. But it was very good. I also got the pretzel which is also ginormous. Next time I'll ask for it without salt because even wiping off all the salt it was still very salty but it was very very good and soft. If you don't have time and your rush then don't bother coming here because it was probably about a half an hour wait in line.
