Northjersey.com’s ‘Food Truck Mash-Up 2018,’ a competition among the best food trucks from Philly and Jersey that features entertainment and more, will be held at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment in East Rutherford, NJ on Saturday, June 2, from noon to 9 p.m.
The winner will be determined by guests who attend the event and enjoy the more than 60 different food options.
Voting for the favourite food trucks will take place online from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m. The winner of ‘Best Food Truck’ will be announced at 8 p.m. and will join the line-up of past winners, including Callahan’s, Angry Archies and Oink & Moo BBQ – which has been ranked among the best food trucks in the USA.
“We are introducing some new experiences this year where you can take photos of your favourite food with your favourite people at our Instagram Pop-Ups. A social scavenger hunt will keep everyone entertained as they earn points for prizes while eating and exploring the food trucks,” said T.H. Waldman, senior manager of events marketing for the USA TODAY NETWORK.
The Food Truck Mash-Up series is showcasing first responders in the area and Kevin Apuzzio Memorial Foundation has been selected as the charity partner for 2018. The Kevin Apuzzio Foundation’s mission is to honour the legacy and memory of Kevin Apuzzio, a college student and volunteer firefighter who gave his life in the line of duty. The program raises funds to support scholarships and outreach programs. All military personnel and first responders with a Valid ID can enter the event for free for up to 4 people.

“This Food Truck Mash-Up is one of our biggest events during the Championship Meet,” said Jason Settlemoir, COO & GM of Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment. “We are excited to see all the new additions to this year’s event!”
