#Eat614: Meet the players of the Columbus Food Truck Fest

By Lydia Freudenberg

Sitting in your downtown apartment, you suddenly hear the muffled noises of live music. Poking your head out the window, a wall of smoky flavor hits you right in the face and your mouth begins to water. Time to investigate. You find yourself practically floating towards the waves tingling your senses.

You turn the corner… how could you forget? It’s the 7th annual Columbus Food Truck Fest!

Here are a few players on the roster this year:

Cupzilla

Cupzilla has been rolling throughout Columbus since early 2015, serving up cups full of handmade Korean-style barbecue like chicken, beef, pork, and tofu. And be prepared to feel the monstrous heat–kick it up with spice levels ranging from one to five.

Chicky Chicky Waffle

Glynis Armentrout and her husband Tyler have created a concept any omnivore would worship–seasoned chicken tenders dunked in waffle batter and deep fried. Oh, and did we mention the Armentrouts have another food truck specifically dedicated to ice cream? Thankfully, both food mobiles will be present at the CFTF.

PhillyBuster

Five sandwiches, seven sides, nine flavors of ice cream, shakes, malts, and floats–you’ll be questioning how they fit it all into a 16-foot box on wheels. Co-owner David Cunningham recommends chowing down on their famous 14-hour cooked Brisket PhillyBuster, with a dish of the family-recipe potato salad, and really any dessert.
