It snowed and hailed in the hour leading up to last night’s Truck Stop, but thankfully the sun came out and the skies cleared up just in time! It was cool and windy, but we Edmontonians are a hardy bunch, especially when there is great food to be had!

Nomad completely sold out, and a number of menu items from the other trucks did as well. Thanks for your support! We hope to see you back in McIntyre Park next Thursday evening for another Truck Stop!

Check out more photos from last night’s event here.

The weather’s warming up, and you know what that means: ‘tis the season for food trucks!

We’re gearing up for our first big What the Truck?! event in June, but leading up to that, we wanted to offer some other opportunities to get your street food fix!

So we are happy to announce a series of Truck Stops, our mini food truck festivals, which will take place in Old Strathcona. Every Thursday from 5-9 p.m. in May, you’ll be guaranteed great eats at McIntyre Park, where four trucks will be serving up dishes both savoury and sweet.

What: Truck Stop
Where: McIntyre Park, 8303 104 Street
When: May 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31, 2012
Time: 5-9 p.m.

The vendors will change from week to week, so be sure to swing by on different days to sample all of your favourite trucks. On deck this Thursday, May 3: Drift, Eva Sweet, Fat Franks and Molly’s Eats. Check back tomorrow for menu details.

A special thanks to the Old Strathcona Business Association for their sponsorship of these events.

Hope to see you there!
