As of last November, the 2 Fat 2 Fly Wings team o�ered Columbia a new twist on the traditional chicken wing. Everything you ever imagined about the possibilities of a chicken wing has been thrown to the curb. 2 Fat 2 Fly breaks all barriers! Imagine biting into a delicious 100% jumbo, bone-in, South Carolina raised chicken wing tasting Jalapeno, Bacon and Cheddar. Simply delicious! The glorious combination of the chicken and �lling is a second to none.  The 2 Fat 2 Fly Food Truck, aka “The Fonz”, travels around the Columbia area updating hungry followers of their whereabouts on Twitter. 

2 Fat 2 Fly has won numerous awards for their “un-clucking believable” chicken wings. These awards include the 2011 Capital City Music & Wing Fling Best Wing and International Wing, 2010 15th Annual Budweiser War of the Wings Judges Choice, and the 2009 Capital City Wing Fling Peoples Choice and Best All Around -- and most recently today -- the list of "12 Food Trucks Mashable Readers Love."

The newest food truck to Columbia, Alfresco Mobilista or “AlfMob” for short, is creating quite the “buzz” around town.   The name Alfresco Mobilista came from “Alfresco” for eating outdoors – and “Mobilista” for on the move.

“AlfMob” was created by Adams Hayne & Julie soon-to-be-Hayne for their love of food, entrepreneurial spirit and just wanting to spend more time together.  After spending so much time learning from others – whether catering large weddings and events on the coast or local Columbia events – Adam’s dream of owning his own business continued to build. Alfresco Mobilista brings a fresh bistro fare to the masses. Their approach is a creative spin on old favorites, and some new ideas to throw in the mix. Simple southern food with a Latin andMediterranean twist build the delectable menu.

Be sure to follow “AlfMob” on Twitter and "like" them Facebook to �nd out where they will be located next.

WHO IS ANTONIO LEWIS?THE LIFE OF A FOODIE

WHO IS ANTONIO LEWIS?

This self-proclaimed foodie has a palate that challenges most seasoned enthusiasts. Antonio has a keen taste for savory dishes and strong appetite for a good beer. We turn to Mr. lewis for more insight on just what exactly runs through the mind (and stomach) of a true foodophile.

Why do you consider yourself a foodie? It’s all I ever think about. From the time I wake up until I go to bed at night. All I think about is food. I’m wondering what to eat for dinner as we speak (laughter).

As a foodie is there any particular type of food you prefer or is all food fair game? That’s a good question. I lean toward savory, well seasoned foods. I’m not a desert guy.

Do you just like to eat or is your foodie title not be taken lightly? It de�nitely shouldn’t be taken lightly. As afoodie I have an appreciation for good food. I don’t each junk, I can’t just eat anything. If food is crappy I get highly upset, probably a little more upset than most.

Do you seek out new places to eat or do you stick with the familiar? I’m always looking for a new place to eat. When I go out of town, my hotel, transportation, etc. comes secondary to �nding a great restaurant or eatery to try out.

Is there a speci�c food that you like to indulge in? Yes, I love tuna tatar. If ever I visit a Japanese restaurant, that is the �rst thing I go for.

What are your thoughts on the food industry in Columbia, SC? Columbia is growing. There are some treasures buried throughout the city. Of course we aren’t up to par with larger cities such as Savannah, Charlotte or Atlanta but we’re getting there.

Do you have any advice for aspiring foodies? Yes, try everything once!
