Food truck operators anxious to be part of Ridge Meadows Home Show

In addition to having a diverse range of entertainment options, the Ridge Meadows Home Show will also feature a long list of food trucks for attendees to enjoy.

According to assistant event coordinator Jhammi Gunnarsen, this year’s home show will have 15 different food trucks, each offering their own signature dishes, ensuring that there is something for everyone.

Some food trucks have been a home show staple for years, but others are much newer to the Maple Ridge festival.

“A lot of the trucks have been on the waitlist for years,” explained Gunnarsen. “They love it here so they just keep coming back.”

For instance, the Tornado Truck – which is known for its spiral potato dish – is returning for the second year after making a successful debut at last year’s home show.

“People always ask if it’s the original Tornado Truck from Vancouver, and we have to tell them that it’s not but it’s the exact same type of potato tornado dish,” said Gunnarsen.

And coming to the festival for the first time this year is Japanese Teriyaki Express, which offers chicken, beef, and tofu rice bowls with their own signature teriyaki sauce.

The full list of food trucks participating in the Food Truck Festival at this year’s home show includes:

• Cannoli King

• Corndog King

• Tin Lizzy Fish and Chips

• G’s Donairs

• Insominiac’s Coffee Company
