Sure, you've seen plenty of grilled cheese trucks over the years, but did you know there are oyster trucks, champagne trucks, and tots trucks all over as well? Here are just a few of the most innovative food trucks across the country.

Cold Stone Creamery

For six years now, Cold Stone Creamery has offered a catered ice cream truck service in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. They do a lot of corporate events, weddings, private events, and festivals. Keep that in mind the next time your birthday rolls around if you live in one of those areas. Right now, they even have pre-ordering for the trucks, so they can offer a contactless service. Who knew??

A Philly fav since 2013, the tiny tot cart frequents colleges and late-night wedding parties. Because (1) they know their audience and (2) who doesn't love cheese-drenched potatoes come midnight?

Rito Loco; Washington D.C.

The D.C. mainstay has an exclusively burrito-filled menu...except for that side of fried mac & cheese bites. You should probably get those too. You know, just to chase the burrito with. Just in case.

Though the truck's titular Biker Jim has opened restaurants since he began his cart business years ago, his gourmet hot dog carts remain perpetually popular. That's probably because you can build your own hot dog from a selection of 15 homemade sausages.

Lest the picture of kids lined up outside of this colorful creation mislead you, no, this isn't any regular old ice cream truck. It's Hawaiian-style shaved ice in the middle of South Dakota. They shave, roll, and flavor ice like you've never seen.
