Four local food trucks are joining forces for Durham's first "Food Truck Mash-Up," at 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21 at Motorco.

The trucks include Chirba Chirba Dumpling, Pie Pushers, Farmhand Foods and KoKyu BBQ trucks. The "mash-up" angle means each truck will make dishes using ingredients from the other trucks. That may mean pizza-inspired dumplings and Asian-inspired tacos. You'll have to be there to find out.

Tickets cost $25 in advance or $30 at the door. (Get your tickets sooner rather than later because they will go fast.) To buy tickets, go to http://motr.co/ftmu

Farmhands Foods Sausage Wagon will be at Chapel Hill's 3Cups starting from 5:30-8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9.

The truck produces sausage from pigs from local farms, including Park Farm, Triple B Farm, Leigh Farm and the N.C. Natural Hog Growers Association.

On Saturday, I enjoyed a country breakfast sausage with maple butter and diced stewed apples on a Guglhupf bun. It was delicious.

Also, a few Raleigh food truck owners are asking the public to share their opinion on the food truck issue. They have set up www.ncfoodtrucks.com with more information.

And for those who remember the Liberacion Juice Truck, it has a new life: as a grilled cheese truck with a lofty mission. It will teach "young people engaged in social justice organizing work, with a strong commitment to low-income youth of color." Go to http://fb.me/M5TbY2dT to read more.
