Tattoo you?

No thank you. What’s a good Food Truck Battle without a mobile tattoo stop, you ask? I think this is the first year I’ve noticed the opportunity for ink at our traditional get-together at the New York State Fairgrounds, though maybe I’ve just missed it. Ha! I do think I would have recalled this sign.…

Sun sets with a bounce

Keep the young ones busy. The energy was high over our shoulders at the bounce house as the kids played during this year’s annual Food Truck Battle. I noticed the sun setting, too.

Mingling and music

Fun out there. The table we commandeered for our fun evening for this year’s visit to the annual Food Truck Battle offered a nice view of the grassy inner court at the New York State Fairgrounds/ The music reached us nicely from the Chevy Court Stage, and I was happy.

The food stroll

Lookie here. Dinner awaited after my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth, George Three and I met with Meghan, Becca and Sean for this year’s Food Truck Battle visit. First, we circled the rectangle of food stops. I picked a cheesesteak sub and Karen went for a Reuben egg roll, both from the Lucky Seven…

Picking the right day

There it lies. Busy we’ve been lately, so the family adventurers had to select a Friday night instead of our usual Saturday afternoon for our traditional annual visit to the May food truck rally at the New York State Fairgrounds. It was a good choice. Before we know it … All the trucks were loaded…

You can stay in the pen, says I

Never have I ever … I realize new businesses are starting up every time I turn around. Yet I was surprised to spot this opportunity at the Food Truck Battle. I guess it’s easier than buying them to start a backyard coop for egg-laying or having your own emotional support chicken instead of a dog…

Awesome slogan

Catchy. After my trip to the beer stand at the Food Truck Battle, I brought back for my dear wife Karen, George Three and I a Blue Light, Miller Lite and Sierra Nevada, plopped them down in a bunch, and went off again for the Bold Coast Lobster food I mentioned yesterday. Upon return, Karen…

The food trucks came and we ate

Follow the arrow. Our busy weekend started off for my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth, wonderful George Three and fantastic Sue with our annual visit to the Food Truck Battle at the New York State Fairgrounds. Stay where you are, precip. As it always seems, it was cool with a threat of rain. We’ve…

Catchy truck title …

If I was in the mood for breakfast … My dear wife Karen and I are always on the lookout for witty names while we circle the competitors at the annual Food Truck Battle. She quickly pointed to the Oh, Crepe & Waffles folks. Yeah, I agreed, but I was already set on the lobster…

I know those sounds from Brownskin

Great job by a familiar band. I was happy that a band I recalled from my days covering music for the big daily took the Food Truck Battle stage while the six of us enjoyed our food and conversation on the grassy field at the New York State Fairgrounds. The Brownskin Band sounded fantastic, vocals…
