Food Truck gatherings have become a thing to do here in South Florida. They’re kind of like the food court at the mall, only with a much better variety and real chefs. Best part, you don’t have to pick one place to eat. You can try something from each one. Have an appetizer at Miami Roasted Corn and a meal at Cheese Steak Gourmet and a smoothie at Smoothie Operator by JC without leaving the area. And if you have a picky eater in the group, send them off on their own while you shift into gear for an exciting culinary adventure.

However, many great artists are not able to share their talent to a broad audience because main stream music tends to drown them out. In spite of this, I found five exciting new artists/ bands that should be recognized.
