Food Trucks Navigate Summer Heat in Phoenix

Des Moines' late-night food scene is being revitalized by the 2nd Ave. Sandwich food truck, which caters to restaurant staff after hours with unique menu items like a fancy kids menu for adults and Cuban sandwiches. Owner Matt Linford, who transitioned from culinary school to food truck entrepreneurship during the pandemic, aims to create a fun and dynamic dining experience. Meanwhile, the Historic Triangle area is hosting various food trucks at local breweries and distilleries over the Labor Day weekend, encouraging community engagement through the Food Truck Tracker. Additionally, Texarkana is set to host a Food Truck Frenzy event featuring diverse cuisines and a cornhole tournament, celebrating local food vendors. In Phoenix, food truck operators are facing the challenges of extreme summer heat while serving customers at the Uptown Farmers Market, relying on air conditioning and hydration to manage the conditions. Despite the difficulties, vendors are committed to providing quality food and a lively atmosphere for their patrons.
