YORKTON - If you are looking for something a bit different for a meal this weekend, then head over to the Food Truck War at the Superstore parking lot in the city.
The show, which will be in the city Friday through Sunday, brings together a group of businesses which operate food trucks, explained event spokesperson Jessie Lewis.
The truck wars travel throughout the summer, with eight stops scheduled this year in Saskatchewan, said Lewis, adding they are planning for 26 stops in 2022.
“We work with communities across Saskatchewan right now,” he said.
The number of trucks involved depends on the community being visited. Smaller ones might attract four, or five trucks, while the stops in the larger communities could see 20 trucks, said Lewis.
For Yorkton there are nine food trucks, all but one being from Saskatchewan.
The trucks range from one serving Korean corndogs and bubble teas, to a Caribbean truck offering fare in a roti (flatbread), to another truck with chicken waffle burgers and homemade onion rings, to those with a variety of burgers and poutine.
The trucks are operating 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. The wars will be in the region again Aug. 20-22, at the Wadena Fair Grounds.
