Lebanon's Best Street Food on Wheels

Meet Fried Green Tomatoes, Huli Hut, Roasted Coconut, Fruit Tea Chicks, Vanilla Moose Coffee

Fried Green Tomatoes

Launched in 2012, the Fried Green Tomatoes Food Truck made its debut at the Wilson County Fair, and since that first outing, it was obvious that great southern hospitality, combined with delectable fried green tomatoes, were a recipe for success.

In March 2019, owner Holly Cooper found an opportunity to audition for Shark Tank, hitting a homerun on her first audition. That June she and her family flew to L.A., to bring their southern charm to the tank, landing a deal with Barbara Corcoran in the 2020, Season 11. They since opened a second truck in Nashville and later decided it was time to franchise. Don’t miss their catfish sandwich or the shrimp po’boy. Visit friedgreentomatoes.co to find them.

Huli Hut 

Huli Hut is a small family owned Food Truck business, currently booking public weekend events, and the occasional wedding or private events. Owned by husband and wife, Brooke and Cameron Morris since 2018, you will always catch them at the Wilson County Fair where they got their start, along with Rock the Block, and various other events.

“Our food is prepared fresh daily for every event that we do. We are completely run and operated solely with the help of family and friends,” says Brooke, “We were inspired to start our business after a trip to Hawaii and by how delicious the Huli Huli chicken was; I was inspired to create my own original recipes. We serve our Huli Huli chicken skewered on a stick with pineapple between each piece of chicken and marinated in our homemade Huli sauce, grilled fresh at every event.”

The word Huli means to be grilled over an open flame. Don’t miss the nachos, sliders, Hawaiian meatballs, and one of the true treasures: the Dole Whip - which is exactly the same as you can find at the Dole Plantation in Hawaii and at Disney parks. Email thehulihut@gmail.com for booking info!

The Roasted Coconut

Roasted Coconut is where guests become family over fresh, fast, healthy food. Offering specialty smoothie bowls, smoothies, specialty coffees and salads served from their mobile cabana you’ll find bright, clean flavors sure to transport you to a sunny beach, or wherever your happy place is. Catch them popping up at various locations and events around Middle Tennessee, from birthdays to farmers' markets to corporate events and more. Visit roastedcoconut.com

Fruit Tea Chicks

Launching out of Hartsville, Christy Jo Stone says the countryside, with its rolling pastures, southern charm and small-town sensibility, provided the perfect palate for her to grow her businesses, raise her kids and serve up her signature blend of deliciously refreshing fruit tea. From her family’s farm outside of town, she has transformed a shed into a beautiful space for creating teas, hosting events and making plans for the future of the Fruit Tea Chicks. You will find their delicious fruit teas in dozens of retail stores and restaurants throughout Middle Tennessee, but their trailer has been spotted at just about every favorite event since they rehabbed it in 2017.

Vanilla Moose Coffee

You’ll find Vanilla Moose Coffee roaming around Lebanon pretty often too! Created in 2018 as a very small online coffee shop selling a single roast and relaunching in 2022 with eight new roasts, you can now find Josh’s specialty grade, farmer direct beans in his own craft coffee creations three-four days a week throughout Wilson and Sumner counties.
