Food trucks coming to Suffolk County Farm in Yaphank

The Suffolk County Farm and Education Center in Yaphank is giving Smorgasburg a run for its money. On Oct. 29, the farm is hosting a Halloween-themed food truck derby where a fleet of mobile eateries will gather for an evening of food and fun.

Trucks will offer a $5 tasting menu plus a full roster of a la carte items. Attendees are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes to “Truck-or-Treat” at participating food trucks. Reusable bags for trick-or-treating will be supplied.

Among the participating restaurants on wheels:

Eat Me, Drink Me: Comfort-food dishes from lobster rolls, tacos, burgers and sandwiches to empanadas, salads and grilled cheese.

Chiddy’s Cheesesteaks: Chiddy’s signature cheesesteak comes with onions, peppers, mushrooms, provolone and Cheese Wiz stuffed in a soft hero roll that’s sent from Philly. Cheesesteaks range from ones topped with macaroni-and-cheese, and Buffalo- chipotle- and barbecue- chicken, to a plant-based cheesesteak and build-your-own creations. There’s also hot dogs, fries, empanadas, tacos and quesadillas.

Rolling Smoke Grill: Gargantuan beef “dino ribs” (short ribs on long bones) are a specialty. Other regular menu items include pulled pork or chicken on a brioche bun with slaw and barbecue sauce, grilled smoked sausage with pepper and onions and a mesquite-glazed brisket platter. Sides include French fries, coleslaw and mac-and-cheese.
