When you consider the number of roadside stands that pepper the Deep South, it's no surprise to find a food truck that's managed the seemingly impossible concept of fried-chicken-on-wheels. The workers in the truck must be driven totally bonkers by the fine aromas arising from their grills and deep-fryers – how they resist constant temptation is a mystery to me. And there's much temptation to resist, for Mattie's offers everything from catfish tacos to pulled pork sandwiches...chicken 'n' cheese biscuits to one of the gooiest mac 'n' cheeses in town. It even offers genuine Southern-style sweet tea, which is essentially a glass of sugar moistened with tea, a demi-beverage to gladden the heart of anyone from south of Mason-Dixon. For locations, go to Twitter and Facebook – or the soon-to-functional mattiessouthernkitchen.blogspot.com.
