I've visited Bridge Brew Works many a moon ago when they did not have a tasting room.

But now, they have an incredible outdoor dining area where you can enjoy a beer.

And, on many evenings, they also have food available.

I visited when they had the food truck Mountain Mamas serving. 

I started with an Iaeptus Gose, which is pretty neat.

For food, I ordered pierogies, which were stuffed with sharp cheddar and creamy mashed potatoes, topped with steamed onions and sour cream.

You're probably supposed to share these butttt...

I also ordered the "Two Gun Sid" which is a split brat and I got mine with Oliverio-style peppers.

What's your favorite beer or snack from the food truck?

The Handcrafted Cooperative is an amazing event that brings together talented local makers to sell their wares all in one place.

Think of it as Etsy in real life.

Kayla and I went to check it out, and we browed all the great local items. And, of course, we had lunch at the local food truck.

Wildflour is primarily located in North Central West Virginia and serves up local food in fresh ways.

Before we had a name, we had a passion. That crazy habitat of hard work, days of planning, the copious lists written on every scrap of paper, and late night cram sessions are where we thrive. Turn up the heat in the kitchen & we kick into gear.
​
I have the rare opportunity to work in harmony with my mama and we get into our groove and can weather the crazy storm that is food service with little more than some grunts, nods, and our unspoken kitchen shorthand.
​
Our place of choice is behind the scenes, the cogs and spokes of the operation. We love to watch people enjoy the company of their family and friends when celebrating life's joys. Its an honor to be included in those priceless days and momentous occasions in a capacity we can turned furrowed brows into easy smiles.
​
Through the week, we love to be a part of your day, sharing love through what we enjoy the most- good food. We come from a family that has instilled the need to uphold high standards of cleanliness, service, and excellent hospitality.
​
Life is crazy and can be a little bit wild. But we always try to bloom where we're planted and thrive in any environment. We do what we do because we cannot imagine doing anything else. And nothing makes it better than when you can do what you love and share that along with a smile with everyone that crosses our path.

The truck's name is Violet: "Violet is our beautiful behemoth of a street kitchen. At 25 feet long & 8 feet wide, she houses all the equipment and work space we need to make magic happen. She came to us in the Fall of 2017 as a Vegan-Latin American lunch truck. After a good wash and rebranding, we have converted her to our local lunch trailer, catering food studio, and traveling festival foodie."

I ordered a "Slammin' Salmon Sammie" with hand-pattied salmon cake, organic greens, tomato, dill mayo, grilled bun and served with chips.

And, also hushpuppies! Which is something they're known for.

Food trucks are always super exciting to me, and a new one serving up pho and banh mi has entered the Morgantown scene.

3-0-PHO to Go is such a clever name, and they are finding their way all over town.

The combos are a good way to try a few different items. I ordered "The Pho Sho," which is half a banh mi and a small pho plus a water.

It gets all packaged up and ready to go. Pho plus sauces & lime.


And banh mi!

My super talented friend Kayla has launched her 10-year dream of owning an eggroll food truck. The truck part is a coming soon, and to get there, the business is up doing pop-up shops around Charleston with some of the most unique egg rolls you'll find anywhere!




Eggs Will Roll was born from this party. And, they've added new eggrolls, too - including a West Virginia hot dog one with hot dogs, tater tots, cole slaw, onions and chili with a mustard aioli sauce.



At Kinship Goods in April, they had a mac & cheese, jambalaya and West Virginia hot dog. And, they'll be doing lots more events coming up soon!

The Crunchy Clucker

Huntington's resident badass food truck has been elusive for me. The baby blue truck with graffiti-esque writing and a hand sign insignia is well-known for creating some tasty bites.

Southside Sliders changes locations, is only open for certain hours, and it just hasn't meshed up with my schedule when I'm in town - until now!

It has been a lifelong dream to start some type of deli or sandwich shop. And when this food truck craze starting growing, I knew it was the opportunity I needed to pursue. And I could have not picked a better person to help me with this adventure-Michael "Special" Williams. I have observed his work discipline for many years and really appreciate his passion for making good food. Together we hope to bring good food and great times to Huntington and surrounding areas.

This food truck specializes in sliders and tater tots. There's a pork bbq slider, greek slider, cheeseburger slider, grilled cheese slider, teriyaki pork tenderloin, buffalo chicken and fried chicken. Plus, there are some specials - like the egg salad slider, quesadilla burger slider and cheesecake chimichangas.



So, I got a classic cheeseburger slider with all the fixins (mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, pickles, onions, tomatoes). It's a solid slider! I wish I had a better picture, but once they get all wrapped up, they get a little bit smooshed. Regardless, even if it's a small patty - it's well seasoned and tasty.

Now, the "pony express," which is a teriyaki pork tenderloin, is served on a King's Hawaiian roll, topped with mayo and melted baby swiss cheese. This was SO good! It's simple, truly, but the flavors meld together for one really tasty slider.

Also, I had to get an order of the cheesy tots. My only problem was not thinking to get ketchup for the long trek home. Regardless, they made for a welcome companion.
