Each fall, Durham Central Park offers a series of fundraising dinners called Meals from the Market. The schedule of those events and tickets are now available HERE.
One of those events is a small food truck rodeo called "Trucks from the Market" next Sunday, Oct. 14 from 6-8 p.m. Instead of long lines and trucks running out of food, this will be a ticketed event to make sure everyone gets a taste off every truck. So for $50, you get a taste of food from all 13 trucks, 2 Carolina Brewery beers and hopefully a lovely Sunday evening in downtown Durham.
The participating trucks include Only Burger, Pie Pushers, Triangle Raw Foods, Chick-N-Que, Mama Duke's, Sympathy for the Deli, Porchetta, KoKyu BBQ, American Meltdown, Farmhand Foods, Monuts Donuts, The Parlour and Daisy Cakes.
Here's where it gets good for one lucky Mouthful reader: the organizers have offered a pair of tickets for free as a giveaway.
So you know the drill, leave a comment below this post before noon, Thursday, Oct. 11. I will pick a winner at random and arrange for the winner to pick up tickets at the event. Good luck!

GREAT FOOD FOR FREE?
Thu, 10/11/2012 - 11:19 — graceb81I couldn't sign in and post this fast enough ... I saw the poster over on Monuts Facebook page earlier this week and would love to go! The $50 pricetag deterred me from buying tickets, so if I could win them for free I'd be beyond excited!
Thanks for the opportunity to be in the running!
