Our State Features Durham Food Trucks

"Do the stripes on this converted mini school bus look familiar? But of course: They’re the pink, cream, and brown of that brick of Neapolitan ice cream you ate as a child. Owners Vanessa Mazuz and her husband, Yoni, serve up seasonal specialty flavors, as well, like sweet corn with berry swirl in the summer, and butternut squash come autumn. Everything in your cone or in your dish is made from scratch, including sundae toppings."

GQ knows Durham is one of the best college towns in America

"Even if you spend every March sticking pins in a Coach K voodoo doll, you'll find at least two compelling reasons to visit Durham in summer. One, you can score a good rate at the Washington Duke Inn, an old-school luxury hotel on the university golf course. Two, you'll feast at every meal..."

Daily South Thinks The Parlour is the "South's Best New Ice Cream"

"The Parlour team scooped up flavors like Tangerine Cardamom from a catch-it-if-you-can mini school bus. In April, they opened a bubblegum pink brick-and-mortar in downtown Durham. Both serve the same great flavors made from ingredients like fruit from local farms and Fullsteam Brewery beer (for the chocolate-stout ice cream)."

Serious Eats - Durham Food Trucks

"It seems like wherever you go in the Triangle these days, there's gourmet food just around the corner (or, in this case, parked right on it)...Looking for a cool treat after a trip to the farmer's market, The Parlour was there to scoop us up some ice cream love. We didn't have to search far for late-night comfort food, either: KoKyu had us covered with their Korean BBQ sliders and duck fat tots. We'll save you the history lesson, but suffice it to say that over the past 4 years, the food truck scene in the Triangle has exploded. Since The Cookery opened in 2011, new trucks have been sprouting up so quickly that it's getting hard to keep track of them all."
