We've been keeping a secret (or two) the past few months!

We were voted #2 Best Food Truck AND #2 Best Caterer by Lancaster County Magazine Reader's Choice Survey. I was voted #1 Food Truck last year and #2 prior to that, but this is the first time being voted in the top three for best caterer!! I am honored to have been voted in the top three alongside two amazing full service catering companies. Congratulations to all winners this year! 🎉

Due to the recent accident, we will not be attending the Trunk or Treat event at LCBC Manheim this evening. 😞 Our event at Metso on November 5th is also canceled. My trailer is currently in the shop getting repaired. We WILL be back up and running for the North Museum Fall Fest at Millport Conservancy in Lititz on 11/9. 🎉🎉 Please come out and show your support that day! We'll be there from 11-3 and can't wait to be back at it. 😊 My trailer will be missing a few panels of wrapping, but that cosmetic issue will be repaired at a later time. We do not want to miss any more events! Thank you all again for your support ❤️

🚨SOLD OUT FOR THANKSGIVING 🚨

Thank you all so much! 😊🙏

🚨 Accident Update 🚨

First and foremost, I wanted to express how grateful I am to have so many amazing followers who commented and reached out to me personally after the accident. You all are incredibly supportive, and I really appreciate your willingness to purchase food and offer assistance during this time! Again, I literally have the best fan base ever ❤️

The driver did have insurance at the time of the accident. It expires on Saturday, but all that matters is that he had insurance when the accident occurred. The whole situation is rather confusing, and there are so many intricate parts because this isn't just a traditional car accident. A business is involved, and a food truck accident is not something my insurance company deals with on a regular basis. My commercial policy, commercial auto, and business secure policies are all playing a part in the coverage. The other driver's insurance will eventually be paying for all of the damage, but my insurance company is doing most of the work due to the unique kind of accident this was.

At this time, I am unable to sell food due to the insurance claims and loss of income claim that is being filed. I should be reimbursed for any sales I would have made during my events this week, but the extent to that coverage is still up in the air. Again, I truly appreciate your willingness to purchase any food I had available. I promise that the food will not go to waste!

I will be getting a new hitch, as my old one was bent and cracked during the accident. My trailer goes in for an assessment on Monday. Hopefully, by the end of the day on Monday, I will know the extent of the damage and how long it'll take to fix it. When connected to my truck, my break lights, all trailer lights, and right turn signal do not work. My left one does, which the adjuster said was odd. Along with getting a new hitch, fixing the electrical issue for my lights is the main concern so I can get back to doing events. It's incredibly unsafe/illegal to he driving around without break lights/turn signals, especially when pulling a 7000+ lb trailer. The repair shop said it should be an easy fix.

I did test all of my equipment, and everything started up just fine. I don't believe there was any damage, which I am incredibly thankful for. My trailer is heavy duty and took the hit like a champ. Thankfully, the physical damage isn't too bad, but I may be showing up to events with some dents and broken pieces until they are able to get me in to make the repairs.

I will definitely let everyone know as soon as I am able to be back on the road. My events from 10/25-10/27 are canceled. If I'm unable to get my lights fixed by 10/30, sadly I will have to cancel that event as well. I will keep everyone updated! Being in my trailer and doing events gives me life and is what I love to do, and I am so upset that I won't be able to serve you all this week. Thank you again for your continued support ❤️

📢 PLEASE READ 📢

This morning, I was sitting at a stop light on my way to my event when a car blew a construction traffic pattern and smashed into the side of my trailer. His car is totaled, and my trailer is bent up. I'm not sure of the damage to my equipment at this time. As of now, I do know my break lights/ turn signals no longer work. With this being said, I will not be attending The Good Samaritan Hospital today. I probably will not be able to do my remaining three events this week since I now must get my entire trailer and all of my equipment checked for damage. We have food prepped for the entire week, so eventually, I will be posting items available for pickup. I would really appreciate everyone's support. Thank you.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of serving at Thaddeus Steven's for their Fall open house, followed by the amazing Harvest Happening event at The Junction Center.

We sold more Chicken Fried Chicken Fries yesterday than we have since they've been on the menu! If you haven't tried them yet, try them out next time you stop by our trailer. Fresh Cut Fries topped with melted cheese curds, chopped hand breaded fried chicken, and creamy chicken gravy 🤤 "I wasn't planning on eating anything this morning until I read about these fries." - Guy from pic #1

We served alongside Hopeful Brews at The Harvest Happening and tried their delicious coffee and refreshers! So good and they are the sweetest people. The event also had a super neat photo booth we had to take advantage of 😊

A huge thank you to Country Lane Gazebos for having us at their event today! We met so many wonderful people today who fell in love with our food and are now GJW fans 😊 What a great event!

We served alongside some pretty great trucks today, including Holy Smoked Meats LLC . Their bbq is the real deal. I had their pork and brisket, and while they were both awesome, the brisket was for sure my favorite. So tender and flavorful! (Swipe for the picture) Huge fan! Highly recommend. Go check them out if you're ever in the area.
