September 7, 2017 By Lisa Grigsby

A longtime fixture of the Dayton food truck scene, Katie Marks of The Wicked ‘Wich of Dayton will be closing at the end of this season to deal with recently discovered serious health concerns. Rallying around her, The Yellow Cab and all of the trucks for the September 15 monthly Yellow Cab Food Truck Rally will be participating in a very special Sandwich Rally for Katie.

“Katie and The Wicked ’Wich have been hugely important for food trucks here in Dayton,” Brian Johnson, organizer of the Yellow Cab Food Truck Rallys said. “As soon as word got out about her health, we knew that we wanted to do something to help.”

At the September 15 Sandwich Rally for Katie, participating trucks will be donating $1 from every sandwich or specified item towards her medical bills. The Yellow Cab will also be donating a portion of the night’s bar sales to help.

“The doctors are optimistic about her situation, so we’re confident it’s only a matter of time before Katie is back in the community,” Johnson said. “Hopefully this Rally can help alleviate some of the stresses she has to deal with in the near future.”

Trucks participating in the Sandwich Rally for Katie will be Ramen Rickshaw, El Meson, Smokin’ Bee-Bee-Q, Thai1On, Greek Street Food Truck, The Drunken Waffle, Hunger Paynes Food Truck, Sweet P’s Handcrafted Ice Pops, Flying Santucci Bros., and Creme de la Creme Cakery.

Worth The Wait

April 11, 2017 By Dayton937

A few weeks ago I met a couple girlfriends at the Yellow Cab Building for the Brunch Food Truck Rally.   Since brunch is my favorite meal of the week, I was geared up to go.  I was properly caffeinated, had cash in my pocket, and my pants had a little stretch to make way for all the yummy food ahead of me.  When I got there I was shocked by the amount of people who had the same plan in mind.  Everywhere I turned the lines were long.  I thought to myself that surely no food that came out of a truck could possibly be worth waiting for, but wait I did.

We landed on the always fresh and delightful Shakery Juice Bar since my friends and I were looking for something light and healthy to eat…but smells of waffle batter and maple syrup kept wafting in my direction.  Where was this heavenly scent coming from…? Of course the truck with the longest line of the day: The Drunken Waffle.

As I practically licked the last of my acai berry bowl, I made a mental note to wait for some waffles the next time.  Fortunately the next time came around much sooner than I had expected.  The Drunken Waffle was parked out back of the Cannery Loft Apartments the very next weekend, so my husband and I decided to give some waffles a whirl.

We ordered two meals and decided to split them.  I went relatively traditional with the “50 Shades of Swine,” a bacon wrapped breakfast sausage cooked into the waffle batter.  It was accompanied by a jalapeno maple syrup that wasn’t overly spicy, but left a nice lingering tickle on the tip of my tongue.  My husband took a left at classic and went with a dish that was full of twists and delicious turns:  The War Pig.  This dish had ham, bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, and a scrumptious herbed mayo sandwiched in between a spicy, 3 pepper waffle.  He also got a side of asparagus that were perfectly seasoned and cooked.  

All in all,  the meal was as whimsical as the names of the dishes, the flavor combinations were spot on, and the portions were not overwhelming.  Most importantly, the waffles tasted good, they were fluffy and flavorful.  I always appreciate when a restaurant (or in this case a food truck) can introduce some creativity into their food without losing focus of the basics.  The Drunken Waffle’s food is fun and exciting while still keeping the flavors at the forefront.

So the next time you find yourself in a long line at a food truck rally asking “How good can food from a truck really be?”  

Trust that it can be really, really good, and yes, it may even be worth the wait!

Where you can find the Drunken Waffle this week:

Wednesday | Air National Guard Base in Springfield (Military access required) from 11am-2pm
Thursday | WHIO (1611 S Main Street in Dayton) from 11am-2pm
Saturday | Home Depot Rally in Centerville from 11am-6pm

Brunch! Food Truck Rallies at the Yellow Cab are held on the first Sunday of every month, through September.

— Long time Sons of Italy member, Kevin Sorice actually came up with the idea of a deep fried cannoli.  So let’s give credit where credit is due.

The Dayton Women of Bocce Ball

June 17, 2016 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

If strength is in numbers, then bocce ball is alive and well in Dayton, Ohio.  You may remember we did a story on the Sons of Italy, Bella Villa Hall’s men’s bocce league.  

Well move over fellas, it is the ladies’ turn!  Thursday’s in the summer, the bocce courts are ruled by the women.

Now, let’s get rollin’….

Family Fun: Eldora & her grandson enjoy a bocce match

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON THE WOMEN OF DAYTON BOCCE BALL:

— You have to be a member of the Italian club, John Pirelli Lodge (click here to join) to be in the leagues.  That means you or your spouse must have some type of Italian lineage in your genealogy.  Sometimes the courses are open to the public like the July 15th Bocce Bash and Bocce Classic Weekend

— The Women’s bocce League plays Thursday nights, during the summer.

Helen Longo (middle) and her longtime bocce teammates

— The league started in 1979, with 2 dirt courts.  Now they are turf and much easier to maintain.

— TRIVIA: The turf on the bocce courts was donated from University of Dayton’s, Welcome Stadium

— Currently, they have about 12 womens bocce teams with 4 players on each team.  There are about 50 – 60 lady players in the Dayton area.

— Players range from 17 years old to 80 years young

Mary D’Amico pointing out the closest ball

— A year end banquet, each year is planned to pass out awards.  Food Adventures is sure some incredible Italian food is served.

As we watched the matches and talked with the ladies, there were lots of cheers and jeers going on at different courses.  One thing was for sure, these people were having fun.  Some wore fun hats, while others had family members cheering them on.  Sometimes there are snacks and at special events there are food and beer booths.  We met some great Daytonians and we want to share them with you.  So here are some of the Dayton Women of Bocce Ball !

 

THE WOMEN OF DAYTON BOCCE BALL:

— ELDORA PERFILIO: She says she is out here to compete, but doesn’t take it as serious as some.  Eldora says she comes for the fun times and friendly people in the league.

Maria Napier (left) measures the distance to confirm a winning point

— MELODY SORICE-KNOSTMAN:  Melody has been playing bocce ball in the back yard, since she was a kid.  Her favorite part of the bocce legue is getting to spend time with the ladies. There were definitely a lot of laughs on Melody’s court as they were having a great time.

— MARY D’AMICO:  She is a tiny little spitfire and has been playing bocce ball for decades.  After hearing some of the women talk, she chimed in “They like to win you know, don’t let them fool you!”  Mary was quick to point out some rules on her court, and seemed to be incredibly

Thursday night fun at Bella Villa Hall

knowledgable about the bocce sport.

— HELEN LONGO: For 36 years Helen has been playing ball in the bocce leagues.  She was one of the first founding members.  She shared the long history of women’s bocce at the club with us.  It has been going on so long innher opinion because it is “just a lot of fun.”

— MARIA NAPIER:  Maria agrees that it is all about having fun.  She has been playing for 2 years, and says it is a great time.  She also enjoyed a cold adult beverage on the hot summer evening.

Julia Hall shows perfect bocce form

— JULIA HALL:   For the past 10 years Julia has been a part of the leagues and again points to the good times.  She enjoys meeting new friends of all ages.  “There are a lot of nice people here.”

 

The photo definition of “chillin” in the dictionary

That seems to be the theme.  Fun times, good friends and anyone can play bocce ball. Any age, man or woman can adapt fairly easily.  Whether you are a beginner or playing for years, you can still compete with anyone and have fun.

Bocce is a simple game to learn, it is a cross between shufflebord and bowling.  The rules are simple.  you first roll a little yellow ball called a “pallino” to the far end of the court.  You then try to get your bocce balls closest to the small yellow ball as possible, while your opponents do the same.  Whoever is closest to the “pallino” earns points and thats how you win the game.  Typically you play until someone has 21 points.  It is easy to get the hang of it and you will be addicted in no time.

Juggling the bocce balls

 

 

 

If you would like to play bocce ball, there are 2 fun events coming up that are open to the public.

  1. THE BOCCE BASH is for Beginners.  It will be played Friday, July 15th during the  Sons of Italy Food Truck Rally. Teams of 4 can sign up to comepeter for a $200 grand prize.  The Signup sheet is HERE.  You do not have to be a member of the club to play in this event.
  2. THE BOCCE CLASSIC: Want to play in one of Dayton’s biggest bocce tournaments?  CLICK HERE

For the 2 events above, there will be food vendors and beer trucks, and even some live music!  Just want to observe?  Admission is free to come and watch.  Eats and drinks are available for purchase by anyone.  Take the weekend of July 15th-17th to play some bocce, have a few beverages, and taste some of Dayton’s best food.

You may even see the Food Adventures Crew at the Food Truck Rally and Garlic Fest the same weekend.

Greek Food Truck to Hit Dayton Streets

March 8, 2016 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

“The Greek Street Food Truck” is about to explode onto the streets of the Miami Valley

Food Adventures has super secret info that we have been waiting months to release right here on Dayton Most Metro.  It concerns Dayton’s newest food truck, that will soon make a splash in the Miami Valley.

The scoop is so fresh that their website isn’t up yet, but you can find them on Facebook —>here.

THE GREEK STREET FOOD TRUCK is putting the final touches on its menu and final tweaks on operations, but looks ready to roll.

We are excited because this will be the first strictly “Greek Based truck” that we know of and brings further diversity to an already incredible selection of local food vehicles.

So whats the scoop on the new kid in town?  Who is behind the Greek Street Food Truck?

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON THE OWNER:

— CHEF CHRIS SPIRTOS, owner and operator of Greek Street Food Truck has an extensive cooking background.

Traditional Beef/Lamb Gyro from “Greek Street Food Truck”

— Chris went to Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago to hone his craft.  The Centerville native, also  worked at L’Auberge and as a sous chef at Sung’s Korean Bistro in Cincinnati.

— Chris also studied under the Chef for Oprah Winfrey, Chef Art Smith, while living in Chicago.  He was so well thought of, that Chris was flown to Oprah’s California home to help fix a dinner she hosted for the first graduating class of her school in Africa.

— More recently, Chris has worked on the incredible food truck, Zombie Dogz

— Born into a Greek family (his grandparents were from Greece), Chris’ recipe for Baklava is his mom’s, and it is a traditional favorite.

 

What type of eats can you expect on the truck?  Food Adventures  has all the scoop right here.

 

 

Stacked Chicken on the Spindle cooker

Other GREEK STREET FOOD TRUCK info:

HERE’S THE SKINNY ON WHAT TO EXPECT:

— The meats are individually layered on a spindle and cooked.  There are no compressed or processed meats.  Just a Beef/Lamb mixture spindle, and a Chicken spindle.  Each gyro is sliced to order.

— The Greek Street Food Truck will have a core menu of:
   Gyros
   Greek Fries  or Regular Fries
   Spanakopita (a Greek spinach Pie)
   An assortment of dips, possibly including hummus
   Homemade Baklava

— The menu will feature daily, revolving specials as well

 

Now, without further delay, let’s give you our menu items from Greek Street Food Truck that are absolutely, “Must Eats”….

 

MUST EATS:

— CHICKEN GYRO, STREET STYLE: Stacked rotisserie chicken breasts slices, piled into a pita and topped with “street style toppings.”  Street style means:  tomato jam, pickled red onions, crumbled feta, fresh herbs, fries, and tzatziki sauce.  Quite honestly, one of the most flavorful and unique gyros we have had.  If you try one thing, this is item to grab.

— BEEF GYRO, TRADITIONAL STYLE:  Shaved slices of stacked lamb and beef rotisserie cooked meat.  This is a throwback to the gyros of the old country with “traditional toppings.”  Traditional toppings are: tomato, tzatziki sauce, onions, smoked paprika and french fries.  This gyro is authentic.  It is like a steak sandwich, no processed meat here.  Damn good food on the “go.”

 

Owner Chris Spirtos of “Greek Street Food Truck”

We are excited for the first Greek themed entry into Dayton’s food truck scene.  The Food Adventure crew of The Big Ragu, Chef House, and Hungry Jax, wish Chris good luck with his “Big Fat Greek Food Truck.”   We think Greek Street will be a huge hit… here’s to you .. OPA !

 

Below are more practically edible photos of the luscious food at Greek Street Food Truck.

July 14, 2015 By Dayton937 2 Comments

Zombie Dogz Leads the pack of Food Truck into the Sons of Italy Grounds this Friday

Ladies and gentleman, boys & girls, children of all ages, this Friday evening marks the first ever Sons of Italy Food Truck Rally !

Bella Villa Hall is the place to be, as 15 Food Trucks plus a huge beer truck, will descend upon the Italian lodge on County Line Rd, to kick off  The Bocce Classic / Garlic Fest Weekend.  This promises to be a great chance for you and your family and friends to experience a Food Adventure, and even toss a bocce ball !

Dayton Most Metro, Sons of Italy and Food Adventures have the inside scoop on who will be there.  How?  Because we have put together one helluva lineup, as good as the All Star Game.  Oh …and there are beer trucks as well.

 

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY:

— THE SONS OF ITALY FOOD TRUCK RALLY is FRIDAY JULY 17th from 5PM – 9PM

— The event will take place at 2625 COUNTY LINE RD, BEAVERCREEK, OH 45430 (The same place where the Italian Fall Festa takes place)

Wings from the Painted Pepper Food Truck

— There will be BEER TRUCKS from 5-9pm as well!

— Acoustic Guitar entertainment from local musician, DENNIS CHRISMAN

— 15 FOOD TRUCKS WILL BE ON HAND !  See below for a full list of food trucks and must eats !

 

***** LIST OF FOOD TRUCKS AND MUST EATS ****

We have compiled some of the best, rarest, and tastiest trucks in the Dayton area to bring you a variety of deliciousness.  Some trucks plan to feature, special garlic inspired menu items !

The food trucks attending the Sons of Italy Food Truck Rally in reverse alphabetical order, just to be different…

 

3 Types of Tacos from Taqueria Mixteca: Chicken, Beef and Tongue

1) ZOMBIE DOGZ: A Dayton original and local favorite!  Try their “Grande Zombe” or their “Juan of the Dead” dog.  They will bring tears to your eyes, they are so delicious.  Get in line early, they are worth it, and the crowd knows it.  Huge dogs, good prices and toppings that will blow your mind.  Prepare your taste buds to get zombified, because they may feature a garlic dog of some sort!  This is Hungry Jax’s favorite food truck, hands down.

 

2) THE WICKED ‘WICH OF DAYTON: Fairly new food truck that started in March, 2015 and the buzz is they have good stuff.  Not much is known about this truck yet, my pretty…  But from the looks of their Facebook pics, the turkey, roast beef, ham sandwiches etc, have a local flair.  We are looking for some great eats from them this Friday.

 

3) TAQUERIA MIXTECA:  Brand new truck on the scene bringing the famous, authentic tastes of Mexico.  If you have not tried their food, it is distinctively different than any other Mexican food around.  This is street food you would find in Mexico City.  Holy cow, this will be a good match with a brew from the beer trucks!  Our MUST EAT– try any of their tacos, and experience an International event of cilantro, beef and onion.

 

Nanna Cream Ice Pop from Sweet P’s. Get your own, this Friday

4) SONS OF ITALY’S HOLY CANNOLI BOOTH: Not a truck, this booth has one item.. CANNOLI !  The “holy cannoli” is a deep fried cannoli. It is like bigfoot, it has rarely been seen.  This masterpiece is brought to you by the local Sons of Italy chapter.  If you are dieting, just have a regular cannoli, those will be available too.

 

5) SWEET P’S HANDMADE ICE POPS:  Dark Chocolate Garlic Ice Pops?  Answer: oh yeah !  Taste tested and customer approved, these special pops are sure to go fast!  If you want to wuss out, then try the  “Nanna Cream” or “Sea Salted Caramel” pops.  Enjoy the luxurious tastes!

 

6) THE PAINTED PEPPER:  One of The Big Ragu’s favorite trucks, this place makes a mean quesadilla.  Our big “must eat,” however is their wings.  Who knows what these cooks have in mind garlic-wise.  We are sure they will spice things up for the food truck rally! 

 

Fried Mac & Cheese from Hunger Paynes

7) MOHAWK FREESTYLE GRILL:  Chef Aaron will unleash his Asian influenced “Garlic street rolls.”  Will he have his mouth watering burgers as well?  We think you can bet on it, so make sure you grab one !

 

8) LADDER 11 STREATERY: Jimmie’s Ladder 11 has some of the best menu items in Dayton.  We love their burgers and Tom Turkey sandwich.   the biggest must eat is their Ladder 11 sandwich.  As of last night, they were still working on a top secret garlic infused menu.  Stay tuned for the creative talents of the Ladder 11 family!

 

9) KOWALKSI HOTS:  Simple hot dogs, that pop when you bite them.  Called red hots or white hots, they are Upstate New York brands like Hoffmans, Zweigels and more.  You can’t find these anywhere else except upstate New York….  That is until now.  Get them coney style or with authentic Hoffman’s mustard form Syracuse.  Must eats are a Zweigels Red Hot with coney sauce and a Hoffmans White hot, with Hoffman’s mustard sauce.

 

The Onion Straw Burger from Horseless Buggy Eatery

10) HUNGER PAYNES:  The king of the local croquette, Andrew Payne has promised his Buckeye Chips will be at the rally.  We can’t wait to see his spin on garlic, or his old originals like the MUST EAT salmon croquettes and the Peanut Butter and Jelly balls.

 

11) THE HORSELESS BUGGY EATERY:  Is it the fish tacos or the onion straw burger that melted our hearts.  Or was it the Philly Cheesesteak?  All are MUST EATS  from these guys and are prepared to order, fresh..

 

12) THE HAMBURGER WAGON:  The double burgers are the MUST EAT here.  For over a century, the burgers have remain unchanged… will they doctor them up with garlic for the rally or will they stick with the legend between 2 buns?  Come find out !  We hope they mess with the century old recipe!

 

Go Cupcake will be at the rally Friday with their gourmet cupcakes!

13) GO CUPCAKE:  One of Dayton’s dessert faves, she will be bringing her creations to Bella Villa Hall.  Please try her inventive and addicting treats.  The MUST EAT is the peanut butter cup cupcake.  A work of art for the eyes and the tummy.  Indulge, go cupcake, it’s your burfday !

 

14) FRONANA: This new business uses all natural, frozen treat using flavored bananas.  The result is some of the best tasting, guilt free stuff in the USA.  Try the chocolate, our MUST EAT, and see if you don’t dance like Elvis eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich.  Just look for the guy in the bow ties scooping the tastes.

 

15) BELLA SORELLA PIZZA:  We are so excited to have this company at the rally.  The dough and ingredients are so fresh, Bella Sorella is some of the best pizza in the state.  The Italian club is the perfect backdrop for this pizza pie, straight from the authentic, on site Italian style oven.  We can almost smell the basil, tomatoes and … GARLIC!

 

What an incredible variety of fantastic Dayton foods.  What a collection of tastes ! DON’T MISS OUT !

Take some time Friday night and visit the SONS OF ITALY FOOD TRUCK RALLY.  Taste all the flavors within a few steps of each other.   There will be plenty of parking on site, and it promises to be a fun, laid back atmosphere.  The Food Adventures Crew of Hungry Jax, TheBig Ragu and Chef House are proud to be partners of the weekend festivities.  You can even play bocce ball on the open courts for$10 an hour !

What does the Wicked Wich have in store for Friday ?

**NOTE: Keep in mind Saturday July 18th will be the Bocce Classic, and Sunday July 19th will be the full blown GARLIC FEST, featuring food vendors, beer trucks and THE MENUS will be performing a FREE concert!

Food Truck Rally Season Kicks Off Friday

March 19, 2015 By Dayton Most Metro

206922_392272914225975_1303744355_n-21Nothing says spring like dining outside! And this year, the first day of spring is being ushered in by the return of  two Food Truck Rallies in the region.

On Friday March 20th  Town and Country Shopping Center in Kettering will host the Dayton Food Truck Association‘s rally from 11am until 8pm.  Street eats will be available from Hunger Paynes, Horseless Buggy, PA’s Pork, Lilia’s Outdoor Cafe, Mohawk Freestyle Grill, Alien Infusions, Hunger Paynes, Mobile Cold Stone Creamery.

These wandering restaurants full of delicious and diverse chef-made wonders are  also converging at The Yellow Cab Building on March 20th, and every third Friday throughout the summer and fall from 5-10pm  Scheduled to be on site Friday are Harvest Mobile Cuisine, Voodoo Taco Company, Ramen Rickshaw, The Shakery Juice Bar, Smokin BeeBeeq, “Eat” food truck and Fronana!.

“It’s a unique way for customers to support independent small business. Across the country, there is a trend for potential restaurateurs to test a concept in a food truck before investing in a stand alone building. Food trucks are a first step for many people to realize their dream of owning a restaurant,” organizer Brian Johnson said.

In addition to being able to support local food trucks, attendees will be supporting a community of businesses. “The Yellow Cab has always collaborated with small businesses, and the food truck rallies allow us to go beyond just serving food. We’ll have everything from cupcake bakers, to bottled HouseMade Sriracha, to local craft breweries such as Yellow Springs Brewery, Toxic and Warped Wing.

New this year at the Yellow Cab Truck  will be the addition of a movie to the food truck rally.  “We’ll be hosting a screening of ‘Chef’ at 7:30pm. It’s a great film that highlights the struggles and rewards of owning a small business through the lens of a Food Truck operator. It’s very inspiring and relevant to what we are trying to accomplish at The Yellow Cab,” continued Johnson.

To keep track of where to find food trucks in the Miami Valley, be sure and check the DMM Food Truck Listings.
