Central dining services has added a new food truck for students that is located throughout campus, primarily outside of 1891 Bistro. The truck comes as the second purchase made by Central’s dining services.

“This is really an extension, a continuing evolution, of our attempt to try to create variety and choices for the students,” said Joel Klucking, vice president for business and financial affairs.

This process started last spring with student interviews, Klucking said.

“We always envisioned having two to begin with,” Klucking said.

According to Klucking, after hearing the students and witnessing the unexpected success of the first food trailer, Central’s dining services began searching for a full-fledged food truck.

Jim Matheny, manager of operations for Central’s dining services, said the truck will not follow one specific theme, but will rather be left up to the chef to decide the menu that particular day.

“As long as it is creative, and as long as the student body is interested, then I think we are heading in the right direction,” Matheny said.

May 2 will be the first week of scheduled operation for the truck; it will be stationed outside of 1891 Bistro.

The week of May 9 the truck will be parked north of the Language and Literature building.

At this point in time, Klucking said they can “commit to a third vehicle.”

Whether it will be a truck or trailer is still unknown.
