the Mobile


Pizza Fire Truck is ablaze and great for private events—this is not your everyday food truck. The fire truck is a retired 1983 Pierce Arrow Pumper fire truck from the seaside village of Noank, Connecticut. It has been lovingly refurbished as a one-of-a-kind mobile pizza unit and entertainment machine. The big red truck is the centerpiece of every Company 77 event with off-the-charts pizza and Italian fare. company77.com


THE LIME TRUCK Connie Hylton definitely loves the much- touted, local favorite Lime Truck! Since its inception in June 2010, The Lime Truck has whipped up a whirlwind of palate-pleasing new American cuisine, earning them a bevy of local and national accolades. Owner and visionary Daniel Shemtob aims to keep mouths watering with a foolproof formula for foodies seeking satisfaction; local, organic and sustain- ably sourced fresh ingredients, paired with hip, inventive recipes, makes for the most delec- table dishes in town. Enriched by experience (and a win!) on The Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race, the dynamic team has attained a new benchmark in culinary vision and execu- tion. Blistered Bok Choy with Asian vinaigrette and peanuts, Sweet & Spicy Steak Taco ( with marinated hanger


steak, Asian slaw and


homemade wontons) and the Yum Yum Lamb Sandwich (marinated ground lamb patty inside flat bread with traditional veggies, homemade tzatziki and sriracha hot sauce)—delicious. Oh, and don’t miss the Ahi Tuna Poke Nachos or the Crab Ceviche! thelimetruck.com
