| Folks wait patiently in socially-distanced lines, to order food from one of three food trucks that came out for Beulah's opening evening of food trucks at the Equestrian Center. |
I stopped by the Escambia County Equestrian Center yesterday after work. I wanted to buy food to support the restaurants that sent trucks. Lots of folks were in the parking lot.
It was day one of a community initiative to bring food trucks out to Beulah--an idea that garnered much support online on facebook and on my blog post regarding this topic last week.
One truck, the "Whacked-Out Wiener" had at least 15-18 people in line, socially distanced. The other truck had no line, it was the Chic-Fil-A truck. I went up and spoke to the attendant.
"So how did it go today" I asked. He replied "We didn't get out here until 4:15--and we sold out of all of our sandwiches by 5:00PM--Sold out!" He continued.."We are waiting right now for more sandwiches from out store--they are bringing them to us"
As I stepped back from his truck, sure enough the re-supply came. When it did, folks flooded his truck and a line quickly formed.
During lunch, I'm told there were two trucks, a Snow-Cone truck and the "Whacked-out Wiener." Apparently, according to some who have weighed-in---there were customers but no food!" Demand outstripped supply!
I think as this initiative develops and word spreads among the truck operators--more trucks will come out--and the supply will meet demand and things will balance out--and this will be good for everyone.
For the rest of this week--see the line-up BELOW-- listing the types of food that will be available and at what times as well as the contact:
