We are so thrilled to be returning to Congdon’s After Dark for our 5th Season! There will be plenty of food trucks this year, with the best variety yet. Opening Day is Thursday, May 25th from 4-8pm. Pop by to peruse the truck menus, grab a craft beer from The Beer Garden, and kick off the 2023 season.
It’s getting a bit tougher to stick to the grocery budget, as gas prices creep up and the supply chain has yet to settle down.
One of our favorite throwback shows is Struggle Meals. Host Frankie Celenza is an engaging chef who gives awesome tips on both cooking techniques and shopping hacks.
Struggle Meals will inspire even the most timid kitchen dweller to ditch the frozen entrees and begin to gain skills and confidence. Oh, and save money!
Those of us in the food truck industry are finding that, with COVID regulations, we are an important asset in allowing brides & grooms to serve guests safely.
There are many things to consider when choosing a food truck for your event. I tripped over this article today, and it brought up some important points. One I found concerning is the issue of whether or not your food truck is insured. In Maine, we must be insured for at least $1M in order to be licensed with the state. I always recommend people request a Certificate of Insurance when hiring a vendor to work your event.
It’s important to note that a food truck at a wedding is not going to set up and break down tables and do many other things a full service caterer might do. The price per person will be MUCH more manageable with a food truck or even multiple food trucks, so you can gauge your needs and desires with your budget when making decisions.
Find a food truck you can really trust. As a former event planner, I always look at things through both my lens as a caterer and also the lens of the person holding the event.
It’s a debate that will probably never cease. Last April, we were plotting and scheming our own little hot dog business, and we had to eat a lot of hot dogs before we found the one we decided was the best tasting dog. It’s also gluten free and all beef, so those were bonuses for us.
Some people just love those red snappers, and others need a mixture of pork and beef. Some like a mild flavor, and others like a little kick. Don’t get us started on the natural casing debate.
According to the NYTimes, Wellshire Farms and Hebrew National are the two best tasting dogs.
Delish agreed with thousands of die-hard NYC hot dog eaters, and chose Sabrett as the top dog.
ThrillList and Epicurious agreed with us, and chose Nathan’s Famous as the best tasting dog out there.
The one thing we can all agree on is this: every day is a little bit tastier with your favorite hot dog (especially one from a food truck!)
