Food Truck Social | August 25, 2012

Sara Mays

On Sunday, it rained. On Saturday, it burned. And yet, despite nature being kind of a B, y'all came out to Chicago Avenue between Wood and Wolcott for the second annual Food Truck Social. This city loves food trucks! And food trucks love us back, apparently, because the offerings at this year's Social were as diverse as they were impressive. Big thanks to everyone who attended, and props to all the trucks that participated: Getta Polpetta, Ice Cubed, Tamale Spaceship, More Cupcakes, Chi-Town Bomber, Gigi's Bake Shop, Beyond Borders, The Sweet Ride, Haute Sausage, Hummingbird Kitchen, Two Italians, Beaver's Donuts, Star Fruit, Bergstein's Deli, Caponies, Sweet Ride, Taquero Fusion, Tamale Foodie, Latitude 20, Haute Sausage, Chi-Town Bomber, The Curried Mobile and (not-truck) Kendall College. A few highlights:

- The Beavers Donuts truck hosted three pop-up chefs on Saturday: Michael Kornick, Brian Jupiter and Carlos Gaytan. All three brought ways to beat the heat: The strawberry lemonade from Frontier's pop-up was especially refreshing. (Or was I just extremely dehydrated?)

- On Sunday, Caponies Trattoria set up a wood-burning pizza oven. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- There were major dog-watching opportunities. (Perhaps due the presence of Fido to Go, a food truck for dogs. Thankfully, this truck was set apart from the food trucks for humans, lest confusion ensue.)

- The longest line on Saturday was for Ice3, the new popsicle and ice-cream truck with wacky flavors. Close second: Tamalespaceship.

- Spotting Ty Fujimura, the owner of Arami, at the Chitown Bomber food truck seemed like a good omen, so I made a bee-line to check out what was up. The barbecue chicken sandwich with cole slaw and barbecue chips was one of my favorite things I ate at the fest: Bring this truck to the Loop!

- Last but not least, Ommegang beer at a street fair!
