BBQ Food Truck SATURDAY, APRIL 27th
For those not on Facebook:
The food trucks seem to be quite popular! Looking forward to this Saturday and Oakwood BBQ – Knoxville from 4 – 8 pm.
Ordering info:
Pre-orders are required for bulk purchases (i.e., a pound of BBQ, quart of sides, etc.)
Pre-orders are recommended for all other items (i.e., small amount of BBQ, small sides) in order to ensure you get what you want and reduce wait times.
Pre-orders should be placed before Friday morning.
There will be food available for walk up purchases as well if you don’t pre-order.
To place a pre-order:

You’ll receive a confirmation of your payment.
Everyone seems to be doing a good job of following the guidelines from the Knoxville Health Department (even the vendors have commented how well everyone does compared to other neighborhoods they have visited). Posting again for your information:
This is a message to neighborhoods, HOAs, and the general public regarding the use of food trucks:
As we are all aware, the Knox County Health Department issued a Safer at Home order which went into effect on March 23, 2020. This Order instructed all citizens to stay home and practice physical distancing to aid in reducing the spread of COVID-19.
We appreciate the support that neighborhood associations and apartment complexes have given the City of Knoxville permitted food trucks by inviting them to provide lunch/dinner options. However, we are asking that the public keep several things in mind when inviting food trucks:
1. Neighbors should not be congregating in a social manner around the food truck and dining together. Inviting a food truck to come to your neighborhood should not be considered a special social event or neighborhood block party.
2. Think of the food trucks like a delivery truck. Only ONE person from each family should go to the food truck to pick up the food. The food should be taken to your own home to be consumed.
3. Each food truck should have one person outside of the unit making sure that people are not congregating. The food trucks should have cones or other types of markings spaced 6 feet apart to show where customers need to be in line.
4. The food trucks should be providing individual condiments. You should not share from a central self-service location.
5. The food trucks should NOT be providing customers cutlery or napkins with the food.
5. Please do not go outside to get food from the food truck if you are not feeling well.
6. Remember to disinfect your hands after completing the transaction and before eating.
We see the proper use of food trucks during this time as a win-win. However, if the food truck community and the neighborhoods are not able to help in our efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we may order all mobile vending to stop until the Safer at Home order has been lifted.
