Atlanta Food Truck

“Atlanta has always been the belle of the ball when it comes to Southern hospitality, charm and down home cooking -  it’s no wonder that Hollywood has taken a liking to our fair city in recent years.  With numerous movie studios currently filming soon-to-be blockbuster hits all over the metro area, Atlantans have become accustomed to spotting celebs and film crews about town.   With all of the Hollywood lights, cameras and action taking place in our own backyards, it should come as no surprise that a Los Angeles food staple has made its Peachtree Road debut.

Atlanta’s first gourmet food truck, Yumbii, hit the streets in recent months – dishing out a heavenly fusion of Korean, Mexican and Southern fares by Chef Tomas Lee of Hankook Taqueria.  Ready join the droves of people already craving the Yumbii BBQ beef rib-eye tacos and spicy pulled-pork sliders?  Follow the truck on Twitter (@yumbii) to find out when it’s headed to your ‘hood.”

“Atlanta Gears up for food trucks”

Food trucks are taking to the road in metro Atlanta.

A popular trend on the West Coast, food trucks have gotten in gear locally, albeit just first gear.

Yumbii, which offers Korean barbecue tacos and burritos, pulled pork sliders and other limited fare, is one of the first food trucks in metro Atlanta, getting the Atlanta Police Department’s first food truck street permit.

Yumbii started its food truck business about two months ago, said owner Carson Young, after about a year of research and work.

Yumbii’s truck, which has eight full-time employees, features the food of Hankook Taqueria, owned by chef Tomas Lee. Young’s goal is to own four trucks, featuring the food of other restaurants as well.

Yumbii was featured on the Atlanta edition of Daily Candy, in the Weekend Guide.

What: Follow Atlanta’s first mobile food truck (hooray!) for Korean barbecue, like spicy pulled pork sliders ($4) topped with cucumber kimchi.
Why: Keep an ear out for a late-night Buckhead bar route in coming weeks.
When: Thurs.-Sat., 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Where: For truck location, go to twitter.com/yumbii.

“I hear the rumble.  Glancing down at my watch, it’s nearly noon on a Friday afternoon.  A large blue truck drives past and I remain uncertain as to the source of the echoing noise.  An imminent scream from my stomach or the motor of the colorful elusive truck?  I am not the only person who ponders this question as I am quickly joined by two police officers, Georgia Tech students, and corporate executives.  This sidewalk corner of Tech Square is the location of choice to divulge our anticipatory appetites.  The truck parks and props open its side panels.  It’s 12:10 p.m. and Yumbii is open for business.

Korean BBQ Tacos hog the limelight of Yumbii’s menu and at $2 they are affordable flavors.  Burritos, Quesdillas, and Pulled Pork Sliders round out the menu heralded from the kitchen of Tomas Lee of Hankook Taqueria, a West Midtown establishment.  Grounded no longer, Lee’s fusion flavors have collided with social media.  Enter, Yumbii, Atlanta’s first gourmet mobile food truck.”
