Celebrate National Eat at a Food Truck Day Tomorrow

Five Portland food trucks are participating in the first annual event.

The first ever National Eat At a Food Truck Day will be this Friday, but out of the more than 500 food carts in Portland, only five will be participating.

The intentions behind NEAFTD obviously have the best interests of food trucks in mind. How is it, then, that only five of Portland's food trucks ended up acknowledging this day?

"This is the first year for National Eat At A Food Truck Day and while we would love to have all trucks in every city participate, it takes time for a food day like this to take off," said Madison Rosinski a representative of NEAFTD founder Roaming Hunger, a food truck booking service.

The five Portland trucks that will be participating are Viking Soul Food, The Wild Hunt, City Slickers, Fuel Mobile Kitchen and Smak Dab's. At these locations, you can get a special deal, ranging from free drinks with entrées to 10% discounts, by saying (or whispering secretly) the passphrase "Celebrate food trucks."
