Only in Austin...

Those of us that consider ourselves to be native Austinites will surely have noticed the influx in trailer eateries all over town. While at first it started out as a kitchy weird Austin kind of a thing, they have slowly but surely infiltrated the entire city. You can now find trailer eateries all over town. They range in type, cuisine, location, and price. What once was a trailer park where people lived has now become local watering holes to eat and hang out. These trailers bring a certain uniqueness to our town that of which can only be "Austin weird."

Being a fan of these cool food trailers, I was, of course, excited when my brother in-law turned me onto a new iPhone app called Austin Food Carts. You can find it at the Apple app store and download it for free or you can check out their website and follow them on twitter at http://www.austinfoodcarts.com/. This nifty little app is great for vegan and ominivores alike. Once you download it, you can use it to find certain cuisine types, including vegan of course :) or you can search your area or search by name. They have categories ranging from African food to Yogurt and everything in between. Once you find a place that sounds good, the app offers you maps, addresses, websites, and even menus. How cool is that? I have already found my next vegan destination, Biscuits and Groovy. Let me kow if you've tried it.

Check it out and see what you think, because only is Austin would trailer parks be cool :)
