One team, one mission. Elizabeth Gibbs, Steve Scott, and John Jones of Small Potatoes Mobile…read moreKitchen create quality cuisine while excelling in their efforts of sustainability. Their goal of having the greenest food truck in North Carolina is accomplished through several means. The most important of which is readily apparent in every aspect of their food, the use of local ingredients. Rocking F Farm's pork, Wesley Mills' sweet potatoes, and Woody's collards were a few of the NC farm fixings that Small Potatoes used in their lunch menu the day we visited. That afternoon was cold and blustery. It was the type of wind that made you look around expecting Mary Poppins to glide in with her umbrella. Along with Jerry and me, a host of hearty Small Potatoes food truck fans gathered on Linden Street in Winston Salem for a bowl of warm, filling soup. I had the Split Pea Soup. Intensely smoky ham complemented a rainbow of vegetables - carrot, skin on potato, celery, and red bell pepper. This bowl of comfort food was lightly seasoned so that the garden vegetables were the diva of the act. Jerry's Sesame Noodles with Pork had a mild broth, julienned pork, vibrant greens, rice noodles and a subtle pepper seasoning. Take a close look at your soup bowl next visit. The compostable paper bowls are lined with NatureWorks Ingeo, which is derived from plants grown in the USA. There's no plastic or wax lining. You'll love this news. Soup enthusiasts can enjoy a different Small Potatoes homemade soup every week with a Soupscription. The Omnivore option includes soups like Gumbo with Shrimp and Andouille, Cock-a-Leekie, and Smoked Bacon & Bean while the Vegan Soupscription has Curried Winter Squash, Roasted Tomato Fennel, and Tuscan Kale & White Bean. Picks up spots include the Greensboro Children's Museum, Krankie's Airstream in Winston, and the UNC campus Chapel Hill. My Moroccan Style Chicken Hand Pie had a golden thin crust that didn't overwhelm the spiced filling. Chock-full of chicken, dotted with red bell pepper, and bursting with flavor, I am adding this to my favorites list. The menu changes to use seasonally available ingredients, so be sure to try this pie whenever it's an option. Jerry had the Kasha, Mushroom, Greens & Cheese Hand Pie. The cheese really came through in this savory pie (I am guessing it might be from the Goat Lady Dairy). The flaky crust and meaty texture of the mushrooms unify with the greens and kasha. We shared the Apple Pie. Sliced apples with a hint of cinnamon in their natural sweetness made a rustic dessert on-the-go. The Gourmet Grilled Cheese had three cheeses oozing over the edges of buttery, crunchy grilled bread. I'll be keeping a close eye on their Facebook posts to see when they have a Roasted Tomato soup this summer. I can only image how delicious that combination will be! Jerry had the Braised Pork Sandwich. Tomato, onion and carrot were braised with the lean pork. The tender, shredded pork was mounded high on a toasted Brioche bun. All sandwiches were served with Tortilla Chips. On Saturday's, Small Potatoes Mobile Kitchen is at Krankie's Airstream Coffee Park in Winston Salem from 12-3 pm. They always have a vegan option, a vegetarian option, something gluten-free and soups. Make a difference. Eat local and dine with Small Potatoes, an environmentally Green food truck that supports local farmers.

I figured a coffee shop might serve up better internet anyway, and I wasn't wrong. The morning crew was bustling but friendly, quickly selling me a cup for the self-serve station and pointing me toward the stairs. The ground floor is cozy and compact, but they've got a second level that opens things up nicely. I chose the light roast labeled 'Autumn Honduras,' which turned out to be a fabulous pick ‐ bright, smooth, and just what I needed. I added a modest splash of cream, climbed the stairs, and found a quiet spot to settle in. I spent a solid hour up there, sipping slowly and sketching out the next leg of my journey through the mountains. It's a genuinely comfortable space, with enough warmth and quiet to make a full workday feel entirely doable. You could easily lose track of time here, and I wouldn't blame you one bit.

The lettuces and other vegetables were so beautifully crisp and appetizing and the dressing was freshly made on site. The protein bowl was my entree and couldn't have been more satisfying.

My husband enjoyed the roasted turkey with cornbread dressing. Again the portions were plentiful and the plating showed the kitchen's pride by making sure everything looked as good it tasted. I could go on, but suffice it to say that we went back a couple of nights later. The menu is so varied, we could eat here for days without repeating an entree. Thanks, BMB!

There is street parking nearby, and this place is always hopping. This place makes me think of a southerner's take on a French bakery. Absolutely gorgeous on the inside with decadent sweets to choose from, while also featuring classics like a Swiss roll or a cream puff. They also offer breakfast/brunch/lunch, as well as made to order cakes. (Their coconut cake is award-winning). We came in recently and got a BLT, chicken salad on croissant (with watermelon salad), quiche, cream puff, lemon Swiss roll, and lattes. The sandwiches were all delicious and this was my first time trying watermelon salad - fresh and perfect to accompany the sandwiches. Their quiches are large and filling - perfect on their own for breakfast. For lattes, we got a vanilla latte, and then their July 4th special, which had strawberry and white chocolate in it - the July 4th specialty latte was decadent - if you like sweet, you should give it a try. All in all, I think we paid $50ish for our meal. This spot is a must if you're in the area!
