From buttery, Loaded Lobster Rolls to the Stuffed Avocados, everything is premium, intentional, and crafted with pride. Their mission goes beyond great food too - they’re raising the standard in the food truck scene and working toward supporting and hiring first responders in the community. If you love flavor, story, and passion behind the plate… this one’s worth the stop. 🦞❤️‍🔥
