It makes sense — Durhamites like it when our food options keep pace with our adventures. Our tastes are as malleable as our passions; here, you’ll find mobile kitchens turned non-profits that help send local students to college (just ask the founder of So Good Pupusas).

This community is replete with young entrepreneurs and culinary veterans alike, all of whom help bring dozens of mobile dining options to Durham: Latin American cuisine, pizza, Korean BBQ, homemade ice cream, grilled cheese sandwiches, cakes, and more — all on wheels. You can often find Durham's food trucks parked on street corners downtown, in Central Park on Saturday mornings, or at Food Truck Rodeos.
