LOCAL’S CHOICE

Street Eats of Murfreesboro OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS,

Husband and wife duo, John and Mylica Cathey of Smokin' Buttz BBQ.

WE’VE ALL WATCHED THE FOOD TRUCK BUSINESS RISE. From delicious hot dog carts to BBQ trucks and to all-out gourmet, hand-crafted pizza trucks. The variety of food trucks is never-ending! When food businesses were ordered to close down during the pandemic, most food trucks managed to find a way around it. Considering the fact that they had outdoor seating and could maintain social distancing.

Check out some of Murfreesboro’s favorite food trucks. Who doesn’t love a night out on the town with family and friends eating some of the finest street eats! You can simply track down each food truck by following them on their social media platforms or street food finder app!

Smokin’ Buttz Owners of Smokin’ Buttz is husband and wife duo, John and Mylica Cathey.

Smokin’ Buttz BBQ was created because of John’s passion to provide delicious quality BBQ to families for an economical price. The Gut Buster is a must-try, when eating here. This sandwich is on a fresh-baked bun with the choice of pulled pork or pulled chicken loaded with nacho cheese, bbq sauce, and jalapenos.

The best way for you to locate the food ARTICLE REGAN PFLUMM PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

Rickenbacher pizza in the making.

Trinidaddy Island Grill Food Truck Amit and Kerrie Sumair, husband and wife team and owners of Trinidaddy Island Grill Food Truck moved to Tennessee from New York, and immediately realized that Trini cuisine was scarce here. While they were coming up with the concept for a food truck, they felt like it would be awesome to bring the flavors of Trinidad and the Caribbean to Middle Tennessee! When you go to try Trinidaddy out, you must try Doubles. It is the ultimate favorite here in middle Tennessee.

They will be attending several fall dates at Friday Night Market in the Boro which is held at, Cannonsburg Village. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and/or Instagram for our locations and updates! (@trinidaddytruck)

Taste of Cuba crew.

Trinidaddy Food Truck in Downtown Murfreesboro.

Taste of Cuba Jamie, with Taste of Cuba, has had the dream to own a food truck since she was 16, when COVID hit, she lost her job and knew it was time to pursue her dream. Jamie’s husband, Ulises, and her mom, Barbara also help tremendously with the food truck. When you try out Taste of Cuba, it is a must to try the traditional Cuban, served on authentic Cuban Bread flown in from Tampa Fl. Also, the guava and cheese pastelitos made by Barbara, fresh every day! Yum! You can find out where they will be next by following them on their Facebook page, The Table of Cuba.

Rickenbacher Pizza Neil and Michelle Overholt are the proud owners of Rickenbacher Pizza.

What started out as an experiment, quickly became a reality. When the pandemic hit, they saw their window of opportunity and took it. The pizza that really put them on the map was the Pulled Pork pizza, it’s slow-roasted pork butt, a little tomato sauce, white cheddar, red onion, & bacon. After it comes out of the oven, it is finished with homemade BBQ sauce, Alabama White Sauce, and green onions. All of their upcoming events can be found on their Facebook page. In September and October almost every Friday they will be at the Friday Marker at Cannonsburg.

CULINARY CREATIONS

THE TOMATO PIE IS A GREAT SOUTHERN STAPLE DURING THE SUMMER. It is a way to use fresh garden tomatoes especially, the really ripe ones. Laura, the owner of Tasty Table says “I love a good southern tomato pie for any meal.” Laura’s grandmother made these for her with her fresh garden tomatoes when she was little. Laura took her recipe and made it her own by using basil out of her garden, added fresh ricotta and organic brown eggs. This is a recipe that can be made with or without a crust so it meets the gluten-free needs as well. Serving it with a fresh salad is a perfect summer meal.
