The food truck craze has officially swept the nation, and this Tumblr Tuesday, we're taking a closer look at food truck Tumblr blogs that document this culinary phenomenon. From mobile restaurants that use Tumblr to engage with customers to self-professed food truck "groupies," this collection of tumblelogs is sure to whet your appetite.
1. Chicago Food Truck Groupie: Chicago Food Truck Groupie is run by Keidra, who posts the latest news, photos and personal reviews of food trucks all over Chicago.
2. Snap: Snap is a brand-new New York City food truck run by husband-and-wife team Liz and Zeph Courtney. Snap emphasizes sustainability at every turn: the food truck sells Chicago-style beef hot dogs made from local ingredients, and the diesel truck runs on the recycled peanut oil used to cook avocado fries, onion rings and French fries. The photo below is of the Courtneys' booth at the Flavorpill NYC Culture Hunt.
3. The Southern Mac & Cheese Truck: The Tumblr home of this Chicago food truck follows the mobile eatery's travels. Cary Taylor, the executive chef of The Southern, prepares a handful of gourmet macaroni-and-cheese dishes each day. Today's offerings, for example, include truffle-infused smoked gouda, sun-dried tomato with caramelized onions and white cheddar, blue cheese with smoked bacon and mushroom, and crawfish with spicy andouille and pepperjack.
4. The Truck Stops Here: The Truck Stops Here is maintained by a Los Angeles law student who covers all aspects of food truck culture across the country, from city festivals to first-person food reviews and one-off food truck events.
5. Look at This F*ckin Hipster Food Truck: Let's face it: not everyone is on board with the food truck phenomenon, and this profane tumblelog lampoons the niche hipster food trucks around the country that boast ironic, counterculture-inspired themes.

A crew cab truck has full second row seating, with 4-doors that swing open towards the front. Crew cabs are gaining in popularity as more and more people use pickup trucks as their primary vehicle.
