With the recent lockdown thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, Nashville food trucks have had to get creative to drum up business. Truth be told, it’s been a nice change for those of us cooped up in apartment complexes across the region. I’ve started checking up on ’em every day for the last two weeks, and it’s honestly become a highlight of my day to get out, get some fresh air, and support a local business through a tough time if I can. So, I figured why not try to do my part and pass it along to SoBros Nation? If you’re able and in the area, check out where the trucks are parked today.
**NOTE** I found out the hard way yesterday that this lineup is very much subject to change. Not sure what was up, but one truck was supposed to be out in Hermitage, and it wasn’t. Instead, another truck was in its place. *shrugs* Just double check at BestFoodTrucks.com before you order!

Also, worth mentioning that most of the restaurants in town are still offering curbside pickup, delivery and takeout. I’m over in the Hermitage/Donelson and area myself. So, I’ve been ordering from and highly recommend:
- McNamara’s
- Nadeen’s Hermitage Haven
- Nectar: Urban Cantina
- Party Fowl
- Sushi Thai
Just keep in mind that a lot of places may have a limited menu before you order. Stay safe out there, Nashville. Follow the guidelines. Wash your hands. Be kind to each other. We’ll get through this.
To be featured as a food truck or as a restaurant providing takeout/delivery options, e-mail me at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com and I’m happy to add your establishment onto this running list.
