The food truck scene has exploded in the sultry Southern city of Memphis. At El Mero, you’ll find Mexican food with a Tennessee twist, with offerings like Southern fried chicken tacos and braised brisket quesadillas. In a crowded food truck rally in Court Square there’s Soi Number 9, which serves Thai street food staples like spicy basil chicken and a variety of killer noodle bowls. At an evening concert at the famed Levitt Shell, the award-winning Stanley’s Sweet Street Treats offers its famous soft-shell crab BLT. Finally, I reward one deserving culinary dreamer with a $10,000 tip and a Food Network seal of approval.
