Food trucks
in Arkansas.

Arkansas's food truck scene runs through Little Rock, Bentonville, and the Northwest Arkansas corridor that grew up around Walmart's headquarters. Little Rock's trucks lean classically Southern — barbecue, fried chicken, soul food — with a few new-wave Mexican and Vietnamese operators rounding out the lineup. Bentonville's scene is younger and reflects the rapid culinary growth that came with the Crystal Bridges museum and the corporate transplant population. The state's permissive vendor rules and low cost of starting a truck have kept the barrier to entry low; the result is a scene that punches above its national reputation.
