Chatham Street Chowdown planned Sunday

RALEIGH, N.C. — The latest installment of the Chatham Street Chowdown series happens Sunday. With such warm temperatures lately, it will be nice to have this event in the evening. The fun starts at 5 p.m. and will include food trucks, local breweries and live music.

Last Friday, WRAL Out and About and Triangle Food Guy announced that BBQ Pitmaster Ed Mitchell to open a BBQ restaurant in Brier Creek called Ed Mitchell’s Q at the Creek. They also announced that a food truck attached to the concept called Ed Mitchell’s Q on Wheels.

An event that is both competitive and recreational, but all fun is The Point 262. The run, which is just over a quarter mile, has two separate races. One is for those wanting to sprint as fast as they can. The second is a more fun stride with creative costumes and interesting modes of transportation. Food Trucks Mama’s Hot Chicken, Bo’s Kitchen and Two Roosters Ice Cream will be here with live music after both runs.

With new trucks entering the scene, we will feature a new food truck each week. Morfa Empanadas rolled out this weekend for the first service. As their name implies they are serving empanadas, which are baked daily. They are posting their daily schedule on social media.
