Food Truck February!

“Food Truck February”

By K. Ross

Happy February everyone!  This month I will be sharing some of my favorite food trucks around the Richmond area.  I’m sure you’re thinking why are we talking about food trucks in February, it’s winter.  But now is the perfect the time to share some food truck love, they need our help more than ever during the winter months!  As a previous food truck owner, I can tell you how much we value our customers that come out in these colder months. 

The first truck I will like to share with you is CHEESAGGEDON.  I don’t know about you, but I’m a sucker for an awesome grilled cheese!  This truck takes a simple food staple to the next level.  The Caprese, the Cuban, the Rueben. WOW, my mouth is watering as I’m typing this!  These are just the most amazing grilled cheeses I have ever had.  Their ingredients are as fresh as they come. And one more thing to add, the price.  We all have been experiencing the rising food costs, but this truck is keeping their prices reasonable. Delicious and affordable, what more can you ask for?!

Now that I’ve shared a little savory with you, let’s move on to the sweet!  JiJi Frozen Custard, you’ll thank me as soon as you have your first taste.  This husband, wife duo has nailed the perfect recipe for frozen custard.  Their menu changes often so I won’t share exactly what special I had, but in all fairness it doesn’t matter.  Just the frozen custard alone without all the fancy toppings is nothing but AMAZING.  I know it’s winter and the last thing you’re thinking about is ice cream/custard, but a grab a warm jacket, put the heat on in your and enjoy the” best frozen custard” experience of your life! Oh, and don’t forget to bring you pup, they also serve pup cups!
