Do you love to come out to Food Trucks at Arts Park every Monday Night? Do you bring your family with you? Is it just something you can’t live without (us too). Sometimes the local officials need to know just how much you love things going on so that they won’t be taken away.
We were not allowed to have the Hot Dog Fest this summer at Arts Park and our fear is that it’s only a matter of time before Food Trucks at Arts Park may no longer be around.
I’m urging you to please email the 7 elected officials in Hollywood. Let them know what Food Trucks at Arts Park means to you, your family and friends. Let them know how much fun you have at the event.
We need your help to keep this event in Hollywood!
Thank You.

The Miami Street Food Court in Westchester
By · Comments
Burger Beast was approached by the folks at Miami Auto Collection about putting together a Food Truck Event at their new location in Westchester. The Miami Food Truck scene has changed so much in the last 2 and 1/2 years since that dusty lot on 65th and Bird Road which Food Truck manafacturer Food Cart USA has secured for use and Burger Beast had named the Miami Street Food Court. Wouldn’t it be cool to get the gang back together? The folks who set the pace for that 1st year before Food Trucks who’s idea of original cuisine was a frozen burger and fries for $9 (those mother f’ers) started showing up. Unfortunately, The Fish Box retired from active duty earlier this year which means the original line up can not be reproduced.
Chef Richard Hales (Sakaya Kitchen & Dim Ssam a Gogo) suggested we replace them with Jefe’s Original Fish Taco & Burgers in the line-up. It really was a great idea because back then, Jefe’s wanted to get in on the Tuesday Nights at the original Miami Street Food Court and when he couldn’t/wouldn’t/wasn’t allowed to (depends on who you talk to), he ended up creating the B.T.T.R. (Biscayne Triangle Truck Roundup). The acronym was important because it was used to tweet how it was B.T.T.R. or better than any other Food Truck Event going on that night. Twitter battles ensued between both sides over it. Eventually the location on 65th and Bird Road was closed down by code enforcement and all the trucks moved into the B.T.T.R. which flourished into an event that set the bar for Food Truck Events in Miami, but that’s a story for another day.
