Food Truck Tracker September 24 – 30: Hurricane Florence recovery edition

WILMINGTON — In the wake of Hurricane Florence, there’s still a lot of damage to be addressed and repair work to be done. But if you’re looking to take a break, and grab a bite, the region’s food trucks are hitting the streets again.

Some of the food trucks are still recovering, others are actively part of that recovery effort, and some are making their ways back to their weekly locations.

With major repair work still being done across the Cape Fear, many of these trucks’ schedules are tentative — so check back later this week for updates.
