"The best restaurant in CLT is a food truck" My friend Matthew describes this new trendy taco truck to me. "They hands down have some of the best food CLT has to offer." Well this wasn't the first time I heard raving reviews about them. It just so happens while he was telling me this, I had booked them a few weeks prior for my Wedding Party.
They can also be found outside the Observer, in NoDa, the Common Market south end Friday nights or Use them for Catering as we did.
My wife and I are not very traditional, we had a Wedding Party a week after we were married and used the Tin Kitchen as our chefs. We wanted something different that had some great food. We decided to use The Tin kitchen, have Margarita's and Corona's match the predictable hot July day in CLT. We were referred to them by a family member and are glad we had a chance to use them. I was basically sold on three different aspects: 1) The food is amazing, my favorite was the Drunken Chicken WHAT A DELICIOUS TREAT!. (served with a side of Cilantro, Jalapeno Rice WOW!) 2) David and Charlie are very passionate about what they do and you can taste it in their food. . 3) The concept, Food trucks are trendy, laid back and a outside of the box approach for a party, and all the guests loved the idea
Not only did they provide entrees but they also served some tasty hors d'oeuvres. They consisted of a tuna watermelon ( turns out tuna and Watermelon are meant to be together), Pork tenderloin (delicious), scallops and pineapple, chicken salad sandwiches and Mediterranean pasta salad which was my wife's fave!. Everyone involved was so pleasant and did a great job.
On a side note I was just informed that they were booked by Google for the Democratic National Convention. Yeah they are that good. I mean come on if Google is booking them out of all the restaurants in CLT they are worth a try. Well congrats Tin Kitchen, My hat goes off to you guys and your food truck! I will definitely be seeing you guys soon.
Be sure to Catch them on the road and I just realized I did not mention the Pork Belly Taco, WORTH MENTIONING! A Tin Kitchen Signature TACO!
