Happy first day of spring, Asheville. 🌷 Now that the weather is finally starting to get warm, it’s time to start doing all the outdoor activities you’ve been missing + soaking up those extra hours of daylight. That means walks in the park, sitting on brewery patios, outdoor concerts… and who would be opposed to eating outside? 🤷♀️
Everyone knows and loves Asheville’s brick + mortar restaurants, but there is a whole community of mobile kitchens parking around town, serving up delicious eats. We asked you your fave food trucks and, man did y’all deliver. We’ve compiled a list of 20 Asheville food trucks that are a total #MustDo.
