About Jack's Chowhound

Jack’s Chowhound was one of the first few food trucks to cruise around Dallas. This lead the way for a plethora of other trucks to follow suit. Since its doors opened in Spring 2011, local foodies have feasted on gourmet comfort food like our Italian pepperoni sandwich, the best burgers in the area as well as our claim to fame, the pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich.

Jack Mooney, owner of Jack's Chowhound

Jack Mooney

Owner, Jack's Chowhound

After spending time in Los Angeles, owner and operator Jack Mooney fell in love with the flexibility of food trucks. Food can be served anywhere, anytime and menu’s can change with the locale. Armed with his passion to cook, his love of all things Texas, and his drive to own his own business Jack determined that owning and operating his own food truck was the way to go. After many months of hard work on menus, suppliers, recipes, permits, licenses as well as finding the right truck, finally, Jack shares his enthusiasm with others, by bringing this new trend to the Dallas scene. It is his passion to provide “On the Scene, Mean Cuisine.”

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Dallas, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Jack's Chowhound when you book.

What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Jack's Chowhound includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Jack's Chowhound?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Jack's Chowhound typically answers a request within 57 minutes, so you'll know quickly whether the date is open. Food trucks in Dallas book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Jack's Chowhound cater?
Recent bookings through Food Truck Club include a 75-guest catered event in Colleyville (October 2025) and a 50-guest catered event in Prosper (April 2024). Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Dallas are all bookable from this page.
Where does Jack's Chowhound serve?
Jack's Chowhound is based in Dallas, TX and takes bookings across Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Somervell, Tarrant and Wise Counties. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Jack's Chowhound lists vegetarian options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Jack's Chowhound will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
