Over 70 Food Trucks took over the ball park and field at P83 Peoria Sports Complex as an all day event Saturday March 6th 2017. Tickets were $5.00 each and the proceeds went to charity to benefit the hungry. Besides food and some beverages from food trucks full bars were set up. Food trucks were forbidden to sell water and soda but could be purchased from Peoria Sports Complex at a few locations. Children got free entrance and had could enjoy the splash pad.

$2-$4. food samples were promised and I did notice a few but not many.

So many food trucks….WTFork should I try? I did notice a large percentage of the trucks were selling Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.  WTFork should I try????????

I decide to start with Hibachibot Korean BBQ.

We share the Taco Trio of Gogi Steak, Gogi Chicken and Dad’s Famous.

The tacos were on the small size. Bigger than street size but smaller than regular tacos. The best of the three tacos was the Steak Gogi. The steak was on the dry side and crispy but I did taste that it was marinated…it did have some flavor and was nestled in a slaw topped with Sriracha Mayonnaise. It didn’t remind me of Korean Food………. I’m not sure what the little tub of red sauce was suppose to be. It tasted like canned tomatoes that were sweet. The chicken and ground beef were dry and bland. We were disappointed with our first stop.

Next we shared a sample of Fried Chicken on a Waffle with (I think it was) Hibiscus Honey from the food truck called Chicken and Waffles for the People.

The Waffle was BIG and FLUFFY and the chicken was tasty but a little chewy from being over done. Still tasty…..

My husband can eat more than me and tried a few extra sample items.

From Costantino’s Italian Kitchen he tried the Meatball and Pasta sample.

This wasn’t to my husband’s liking…Cheese tasted like from a cardboard container. Sauce tasted like from a jar and he just shook his head from side to side when I asked him about the meatball…. I do note he grow up eating American Italian Food so he has high expectations on this sort of food.

My husband thought the best thing he ate was from Q UP Barbecue Food Truck.

My Husband enjoyed the Gangster Grilled Cheese Sandwich Sample. It was packed with Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, Bacon Mac-N-Cheese, BBQ Sauce and Cheesy Goodness.

Our next to the last stop was The Cleveland Corned Beef Company.

We shared the Buckeye Roll Samples and asked for two Corned Beef and One Steak Roll.

Wow….I do apologies…I can’t sugar coat what I’m about to say……but I have to be honest because this is the FORKING TRUTH>>>>>>>>>>.This was the worst thing I stuck in my mouth this year. The rolls were soggy and very greasy.

Not just greasy….but like old tasting sour grease. They topped the grease death bombs with dry shreds of plastic like cheese that was easy to scrape off. The inside of the one I tried might have been corned beef at one time…..GOD these were awful. I’m feeling sick now…..

My husband ate a steak one and tried to eat another one that was suppose to be corned beef.

It was unidentifiable……My husband was brave taking a bite. The rest went in the trash.

I needed something that was good and noticed The Mighty Moo Food Truck.  I’ve been to their Brick and Mortar Location so I knew I’d enjoy whatever I tried there.

I tried their Donut stuffed with their Home Made Coconut Ice Cream topped with Toasted Coconut.

The only absolutely Delicious Thing I tried all day. It was a sweet ending I needed to end a sour day.

All said and done it was $58.00 for unhealthy food that made me feel sick.

I do note I only tried a small portion of food that was available for purchase and it was my bad luck that I didn’t make the best choices for me. I couldn’t try everything and even if I had more stomach room this event was getting very costly.

I wouldn’t say to skip future FOODstock or Food Truck events and I’m only talking about my experience. I also blame myself for not doing research on the Food Trucks before trying the ones I tried out.

The Forking Truth is that YOUR EXPERIENCE may or may NOT differ……..
