Y'all know Charleston loves chewing on street food! Southern belles and College of Charleston students can't get enough crazy flavor combinations from trucks like Diggity Doughnuts - a truck with vegan, whole-grain doughnuts in exotic flavors like Peanut Butter and Sriracha and Bailey's and Coffee. And after a day at the beach, nothing beats an Arnold Palmer ice pop from The King of Pops, voted one of America's best food trucks. There's even an official Charleston Food Truck Federation, which puts on events like Eat Street and food truck rodeos. If you're a friendly foodie, Chucktown is the place for you!
