Smorgasbord on Wheels
Trying good eats at this year’s Smorgasport
Here at The Beach, Smorgasport is a time for students and faculty to let loose and have a good time before the semester kicks into high gear.
For some, that means mingling. For others, that means playing games and going on rides. For me, it means trying some of the good eats from the food trucks.
The first was The Grilled Cheese Truck, a campus favorite known for its takes on grilled cheese sandwiches. Their most popular item is arguably the Cheesy Mac Melt, a grilled cheese with a layer of mac & cheese in the middle. Everything the truck has to offer is the ultimate comfort food.
Standing next to this was Belly Bombz, which served up wings and sliders with Korean-inspired flavors. It was a bit pricey though so we couldn’t spring for much, but we did go for the sweet and spicy Bomb Dust fries. It was delicious to me, but some in our group found the flavor strange since the seasoning was more sweet than spicy.
Our last stop of the night was Tomski Sausage, a food truck that specializes in Chicago-style street food. They had all sorts of hot dogs and side dishes good for anyone looking for a hardy pick me up.
The star of the truck was the Spicy Tater Tot dish that came with a good amount of tater tots topped with spicy mayo and Parmesan cheese.
Unfortunately, that’s where our adventure ended. We would’ve emptied our wallets and gone into a food coma if we kept going.
I only have one complaint: why can’t the food trucks be here every day?
