The Orlando food truck craze began just a few years ago. One of the first to be mentioned on Eat St. and to take food truck cuisine to a new level was Big Wheel Truck.
Sunday, January 19, 2014 was the last shift for Chef Tony Adams and his Big Wheel Truck crew at the East End Market. After spending some time up north, Adams ventured back to Orlando to enjoy some lovely Florida winter weather and spread his love for food to others. Adams partnered up with the East End Market to offer a few classes, dinners, and one last Big Wheel Truck pop-up!
Big Wheel fans and local foodie newbies came out for their final taste of the Big Wheel Truck. They wanted one last bite of some Big Wheel classics. When asking people waiting in line what they thought about Big Wheel Truck, a few key words seemed to be repeated; local, fresh, unique, and delicious!
Lump crab stuffed Florida avocado with sticky rice and momofuku vinaigrette.
Seared beef heart tacos with waterkist tomato salsa.
Colossal shrimp and grits with spicy andouille sausage.
Thanks to Chef Tony Adams and the rest of his crew for one last taste of something local, delicious, and fresh! Your food will be missed!

I’m doomed because his brussel sprouts are the absolute best. In fact, I never ate a brussel sprout until I tried Chef Tony’s and the love and deliciousness just oozed in my mouth with every anticipated bite. Now, I’m lost without them, but hope he will share that recipe with us. Thank you Chef Tony for all the wonderful food and creativeness you have delighted us with over the last few years. Best of Luck to you and your crew. You are going to be missed.
