Charleston has seen an explosion of Food Trucks patrolling its streets over the last few years. Hopefully, this latest guide from Holy City Sinner will help you keep them all straight.

A couple quick pieces of info:

  • Information is subject to change at any moment
  • I’ve created a Twitter list so you can stay up-to-date on the current location of many of these trucks. Click here to see it.

Know of something that should be included (or removed)? Let me know by e-mailing me at christian@holycitysinner.com.
