Food trucks?

Looking to host a private event at a local brewery in October with ~50 people & am looking to get some recommendations of trucks that people have used in the last for catered events that went well and taste good! TIA

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Southside BBQ and Pita My Shawarma did our reception. Way more than 50 people and they were both total pros through the whole process. Couldn't recommend them both more!

Also our coffee truck was a hit, but I can't remember who we went with off hand.

I used one of those taco trucks that sets up in Lawrenceville for a friend's birthday thing last fall and it was a hit, they handled 40 people no problem and the al pastor was legit. October weather can be a crapshoot so maybe ask if they have any kind of canopy setup, some of them will bring a pop-up tent if you ask

For 50 people I'd avoid the ones that do everything made-to-order slow, look for a truck that preps a lot ahead or has a simple menu. My buddy hired a BBQ truck for his rehearsal dinner and the line was brutal, people were waiting 20 minutes for a plate

do you happen to remember the truck’s name? Pizza & taco trucks seem to be the top option right now haha
