There’s no doubt that food trucks are enjoying popularity right now. They offer a great way for chefs to break into a city’s restaurant scene, and they usually offer a more accessible way for eaters of all kinds to experience new foods. Those who are looking for an excellent food truck in Austin should look no further than Luke’s Inside Out, situated on South Lamar Boulevard.

Chef Luke Bibby is the master of Inside Out’s creations, which are mainly sandwiches and sharable plates. Many of the flavors on this menu are inspired by French cuisine but still have a decidedly American aesthetic, insofar as there seems to be a melting pot of cuisines represented. Spicy Szechuan fried chicken sandwiches stand next to falafel burgers and pulled pork here, giving you plenty of choices. And be sure to check out the specials, which change regularly and always seem to offer out-of-the-ordinary dishes. The next time you’re in the mood for something different, check out this truck next to Gibson Bar.

Luke's Inside Out may not have your typical kitchen or dining room, but that doesn't hold namesake (and chef-owner) Luke Bibby back. His food trailer, which sits right next to Gibson Bar, dishes out some of the most inventive fusion sandwiches and a killer Sunday brunch buffet.

Step right up to the olive green food trailer and check out the chalkboard menu for that day's options. In addition to rotating specials, you'll always find a handful of "shareables" and the same griddled sandwiches that earned Luke's a guest spot on the Food Network. Regulars highly recommend the rabbit sandwich, which features Korean barbecue sauce, kimchee, and tater tots, all stuffed inside toasted French bread.
