South Side Food Truck Beer Dinner
A flotilla of food trucks will be rolling into Tremont this weekend. Their first stop: The South Side in Tremont, which is hosting tonight’s Food Truck Beer Dinner event. It will be held in the open field directly next to the restaurant. Wiesel Boy and Sierra Nevada breweries are supplying the suds. A total of five trucks will be on hand to pair beers from those breweries with food items from JiBaro, Zydeco, Fired Up Taco, StrEATS, and Sweet Mobile Cupcakes.

Tremont Trucks & Treats
This Sunday marks one of the last times you will see the food trucks in Tremont’s Lincoln Park until the snow thaws. But they don’t plan on going quietly. Sunday’s Tremont Truck & Treats gives the four-wheel chefs the opportunity to showcase some seasonal grub. JiBaro, Fired Up Taco, Nosh Box, StrEATS, and Sweet Mobile Cupcakes will be on hand, promising not to forget Halloween. “Trucks will be howling from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with their own witches’ brew and goblin bites,” says Lorna McClain from JiBaro. The trucks will be passing out special treats to young trick-or-treaters; for additional menu information, check Facebook and Twitter. Happy Truck-O-Ween.
