Ten for 10: Water for Africa has organized what will be a fantastic food event to raise money for and awareness of the urgent need for clean drinking water in Africa. Food trucks are rallying for a cause at the upcoming Food Truck Smackdown. Food trucks will “compete in a smackdown for the titles of Best Food, Best Concept and Best Overall…”, sounds nice huh?!
