Chick-fil-A has picked Houston to roll out its first food truck in Texas.

Maybe that's because there are 74 Chick-fil-A restaurants in the Houston area -- including the two busiest Chick-fil-A restaurants in the country.

The truck will be ready to roll out Dec. 15.

"We're still looking into where food trucks can go in Houston," said Chick-fil-A franchisee Jesse Chaluh. "We worked with a food-truck manufacturer who understands our rigorous food safety and quality standards. In fact, we're in the process of going through safety and health inspections now."



He operates the Chick-fil-A restaurant on the Southwest Freeway between Buffalo Speedway (No. 2 in the U.S.) and the one on Beechnut by Meyerland Plaza (No. 8). He also runs Chick-fil-A stands at UH and Rice football games, the George R. Brown Convention Center, NRG Center, Minute Maid Park and in several public and private schools. (The Chick-fil-A at Wallisville and Beltway 8 is No. 1 in the country.)

The Chick-fil-A food truck menu will be limited to the Original Chicken Sandwich, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, one or two cold entrée products and waffle fries. The drinks will be sweet tea, unsweetened tea and lemonade.

Chaluh is putting the finishing touches on the paint job. There will be the familiar Chick-fil-A logo, but no cows.
