Photos From War Of The Food Trucks 2023
Over the weekend, War of the Food Trucks went down in Cape Coral. What a battle it was.
40+ food trucks from all over the state of Florida came to the German American Social Club in Cape Coral to battle it out for the title of Best of the Best Food Truck. There was a little bit of everything from desserts, Greek, lobster, Mexican, Polish, hot dogs, BBQ and more.
I got the very tough job of being one of the judges. Tough because everything was just SO good! I went in with the strategy of 1-2 bites of each dish, but it was so hard to stop there. Picking just one favorite would be impossible. If you missed the event, here are the winners so you if you see them out and about, you can stop and try them for yourself.
The winners are…drumroll please….
