WELLINGTON —
Truck and gourmet, an incongruous combination.
But the trucks that will draw their parking brakes at Wellington’s amphitheater tonight cost as much as a small house to equip.
The village is taking a stab at another social and family geared event in the town center developing near village hall along Forest Hill Boulevard.
This time, with high-end food trucks serving “fancy cupcakes, sushi and everything in between,” said Joe Piconcelli, the village’s cultural programs and facilities manager.
Also, expect to find gator bites, brisket, quesadillas, Southern barbecue, fries with more than 30 sauces, Columbian hot dogs and Philly cheesesteaks. The Miami-based Bite Gastro Truck will be there, too. And perhaps foie gras.
Miami-based Food Truck Invasion is handling the alternative dining event, willing to switch cuisine based on diner’s palates.
“If Chinese food is not working, they will do something else,” Piconcelli said.
He brought the idea to Wellington after seeing a similar one in Broward County.
“It’s a social event,” he said. “You sit and eat.”
Blankets or chairs are a good idea.
Despite the “gourmet” descriptor, the food isn’t expected to cost a fortune: $5 or $10 per item.
The coordinator for Food Truck Invasion, Steve Simon, literally coordinates food trucks, sending them to locations throughout South Florida.
A disc jockey will play music tonight, with live music to come during future dining nights.
The event will continue every Thursday through May 13, 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
