A couple weeks ago Jim, Robby and I went to the Stonewall Kitchen flagship store in York, Maine for the food truck wars they were hosting. They had five food trucks from the Portland, Maine area set up in their parking lot and each truck picked an item from Stonewall Kitchen’s NEW products. Each truck had to serve samples that they made using the product they chose. All the trucks were also serving items from their regular menu that were available to purchase.
We arrived just before 4:00 pm (it started at 4:00 pm) and boy was I happy we got there when we did. The parking lot filled up quick with lots of kids, families, senior’s and even an RV pulled up and set up to enjoy the event!! The first thing we did was to pick up a score sheet at the Stonewall Kitchen table that was set up. At the table you received not only a score sheet, but some promotional items being given away. They had hats, cups, and various stickers! Lets face it everyone loves a free gift and this is one of my favorite places! O.K. on to the trucks!
We started with the Wicked Good truck, with the sample from this truck, a little play on a BLT. This was bacon, arugula and tomato with Stonewall Kitchen’s Garlic Aioli on a roll. This sample was OK, not much Bacon but lots of arugula. They had cheese steak, chicken and waffles , fries and poutine to order! This was not a bad start.
Next was the CN Shawarma truck. They served a blueberry smoothie using Stonewall Kitchen’s blueberry jam. This smoothie was TERRIFIC,…smooth, creamy and full of blueberry flavor! That was a great taste of Maine! Along with the sample they had chicken shawarma and lots of other raw and all natural products for sale!
Th
is next truck, Mainely Burgers was hands down our favorite truck! The sample they were serving was a burger with cheddar cheese, sautéed onions, bacon, maple mayo, thinly sliced green apple with Stonewall Maple Bacon jam! This burger is called “The Mainah” and it was FABULOUS! We ALL RAVED about it!!! I would follow this truck anytime for another burger like that! I would also like to mention not only
was it incredible, but the burger was perfectly cooked. That can’t be easy with a mob of people in front of you! They had a number of other specialty burgers, but the one thing I noticed that was being ordered by almost everyone in line was the fried brussel sprouts! Who knew?! If you’re in the Portland, Maine area and see this truck, stop and get “the Mainah” you will not be disappointed!
Well, sadly the next two trucks we were not able to try, the lines at this point were HUGE and STILL growing!
The Fish ‘n Ship’s truck was serving basil pesto battered fish with diced tomato aioli. That sounds pretty good to me! They also had regular fish and chips, fish sliders, fish nuggets and fries to mention just a few things! This appeared to be a VERY popular truck!
Last and certainly not least was the Urban Sugar truck, This was the only dessert truck. This truck had an enormous array of donuts, sauces, gourmet donuts, glazed donuts and donuts served with cinnamon and sugar! Thank goodness the line was so long on this truck. I don’t think I could possibly decide!
What a fun evening and a great way to discover what is served on all of these great trucks! I am looking forward to making a trip to Portland and having more delicious food!
Enjoy,
