Here is the tid bit on Shindigs:
"Given the layout of the room, HCP was actually quite fortunate in that we were positioned right near the lunch service, which was being provided by Shindigs Catering. They were bringing in tray after tray of hearty Southern fare, so I was gearing up for lunch around 11am…hard to keep your attention on anything else with a rumbling stomach. I was blown away by the food they had on offer, which included braised beef, broccoli rabe with sautéed garlic (the garlic was so good, I was eating it whole), a pilaf smothered with mushrooms and gravy, as well as (what looked like) cranberry stuffed meatballs and spaghetti squash, all cooked tremendously well. Everyone was raving about it, and I went back for seconds. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had on the conference circuit (rivaled perhaps only by the raw bar at IFBC), and that was for lunch!"
In another blog post of his he said this:
"Saturday was spent almost entirely engaged with Food Blog South, an experience unto itself that is chronicled in a separate post. All I can say is that the lunch service from Shindigs Catering (they also have a food truck) was some of the best food I’ve had at a blogging conference."
MOUNTAIN BROOK MONDAYS:
It was SO successful...almost too successful! I think I hyped it up too much:). It's better that way than the other way, I guess!!!?
Regardless, we learned a few things and hopefully it will make that day a little smoother. It will definitely be a first come, first serve basis. No more phone call orders to-go and/or large office orders (i.e. Village Dermatology (where I work ;) It is important for the truck to cater to those who are there and waiting.
They have these fold up, portable picnic tables that they got off of Amazon, and they are great for providing some seating on such a pretty day. He just bought 2 more!

Just to get your mouth watering...
The Farro Salad is also super healthy and delicious. And, I never leave without getting some truffle fries to pass around with their yogurt dipping sauce!!
It. Is. So. Yummy!
The second Monday they came out, Mac actually got to get out of the truck and walk around a bit...
even got to visit with his son and show him off;)!
I can't wait for spring and summer... it will be a fun place to stop by and get some healthy food fast!
Aaaaand their catering is the bomb! I meant to text you last Saturday and totally forgot. I walked in to a party for my dad Friday night and Mac was the first person I saw. I was so excited to see him AND eat his food, and it did not disappoint! Amazing short ribs and seriously the best polenta I think I've ever put in my mouth. I've been telling everyone and their mom that he's the person to hire for an event. I've been so disappointed that I haven't been in B'ham any lunchtimes during the week to try the truck. Hopefully now that I'll be closer in Jackson I can make it work.
