The current food truck travels across campus throughout the day so students can pick up a quick and tasty meal between classes. For the duration of the Akers Hall cafeteria remodel, the truck usually will be located in the East Neighborhood courtyard.

Hospitality business junior Stephanie MacPherson said the food truck is great option.

“The food truck is way more convenient, and the food is much more fresh,” she said.

Kurt Kwiatkowski, a chef for MSU Culinary Services, said the food truck is popular for its convenience and quality.

“There is a partnership with MSU’s (Student) Organic Farm, where they grow beef right here at MSU,” he said. “They also receive dairy products such as cheese from the MSU Dairy Store, and we are also partnered with Breadsmith, (a) bakery in Okemos, Mich.”

He also described what students should expect from the new food truck being added to campus Sept. 10. It will have high-quality global cuisine food, improved comfort food, a new classic cheeseburger recipe and faster service.

“Last summer we tested out some of the foods that would be included on the menu for the new food truck, so we are excited for feedback,” he said.

Animal science senior Aaron Saunders, a food truck employee, said the new food truck will help expand business.

“The new food truck is really cool. It will offer new locations and hopefully attract more customers, and our business can grow,” Saunders said.

He said there are a few new menu items, including chicken and waffles.

“Food trucks are very easy and quick,” Saunders said. “You can use your Combo-X-Change to pay for it, and it also presents more jobs for students, aside from the café.” he said.
