Why You Should Check Out The Food Trucks in Venice

What is a food truck? Should I be worried about the safety of eating out of one? A food truck is essentially a restaurant on wheels. They are easily spotted by their logo, menu and usually where they park for the day. Unlike the roach coaches of old, these food trucks are held to exceptionally high health and safety measures and are subjected to inspections from the health department. Food trucks are dominating our hearts and our stomachs as they come out with incredible flavors and foods to rival the top restaurants in our area.

Grace’s Taste of Poland

Our Polish friends absolutely love this food truck. While they were mainly in Charlotte county for a while, they have been popping up in Venice on occassion! When we discovered them, we just had to go and try as much as possible. The goulash is like the stew your mom made in the winter when everything was too cold and that warm bowl at dinner was every happy feeling you could have. I have to rave about the Mega Kielbasa Sub though, it’s MASSIVE. The saurkraut is spot on, perfect and the diced bell peppers finish it off nicely. We loved the pierogies, the kielbasa on a stick and the potato pancake too! Bring your wallet and prepare to buy it all, you won’t be sorry.
