Coloradoan Food Truck Challenged Presented by The Group

The only similarity between the upcoming food truck rally and a monster truck rally is the urgent sense of competition emitted from those involved. The Coloradoan Food Truck Challenge will take place on Thursday, October 15 from 5-8 p.m. in the Coloradoan parking lot and is exclusively sponsored by The Group, Inc Real Estate.

17 food trucks filled with a variety of culinary options will come together in one space with a common goal: to create a menu item containing pumpkin and apple. The winner will be decided by your vote during the event and the winning recipe will be featured in the Coloradoan’s Taste section!

Aside from the autumn-centric taste competition, the different restaurants represented on wheels will proudly park in the same space and promote camaraderie within the food truck community. The food truck vendors include The Waffle Lab, The Sustainable Spoon, Mile High Lobster Shack, The Coffee Stop, Daco’s Green Chile, Austin Taco, Feeney’s Weenies, Ripe Tomatoes Wood Fired Pizza, Umami Mobile Eatery, Kona Ice of Northern Colorado, Gunter’s Bavarian Grill, Divine Ice Cream, BIGS BBQ SAUCE, Bear’s Backyard Grill, The Taco Stop, The Silver Seed, and A-Maize’n Kettle Corn.

A variety of family entertainment options will be available within a “Kid Zone Provided by The Group”, which includes face painting, cotton candy and pumpkin painting. Enjoy live music from The Key of Joy and visit the pumpkin patch provided by Bath Nursery.

Admission is $5 per person and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Food Bank for Larimer County. Through this partnership, we are proud to help support their mission — “to provide food to all in need through community partnerships and hunger-relief programs.” Tickets can be purchased at the entrance to the event.
