Nashville is known as the epicenter of country music. After you walk from venue to venue listening to tunes, you are bound to get hungry. Why not check out one of these food trucks that might be visiting your favorite business?
Smokin’ Buttz BBQ
Smokin’ Buttz BBQ has been cruising around Nashville since 2014 and serves mouthwatering slow-smoked barbecue. The menu varies from day to day, but they try to serve a couple of the standard options at each location. There is The Hickory, which is a smoked pulled pork sandwich, and The Mesquite, which is a smoked pulled chicken sandwich. Try The Gut Buster for a little more flavor; it has either smoked pork or chicken and is then topped with BBQ sauce, nacho cheese, and jalapenos.
Smokin’ Buttz also offers a few sides like coleslaw, barbecue baked beans, mac and cheese, and chips. You can also order loaded or basic nachos. To locate the truck, text “Buttz” to 88000 to get updates on where it will be that day.
