Food truck wishes come true at University of Mary Washington

This semester, a new food truck motors along Campus Walk, the route that most students take at University of Mary Washington to and from class.

Eatz on the Street features signature burgers such as the Distinguished Gentleman with fresh garlic and blue cheese and the Tropical Pig topped with smoked BBQ pork, provolone, grilled pineapple and sriracha sauce.

The truck concept was created in response to menu samplings conducted last spring by Sodexo, dining services partner on campus, and a student “Food Truck Wish List” survey distributed to student dining guests. Burgers, chicken tenders, hot dogs and french fries topped the list, along with barbecue sandwiches.

“Eatz on the Street is vibrant, fun, and current, reflecting the growing popularity of ‘street food,’ said Rose Benedict, unit marketing coordinator for University of Mary Washington Dining Services. “The concept is flexible and enables us to change the menu in response to future student dining trends.”

While students can stop by on their way to class and quickly pick up a great hand-held meal, Eatz on the Street also ventures off campus to various community events.

“Our food truck is quickly earning a reputation for having seriously good food and great customer service,” said Benedict.
