“This festival helps to bring in more customers from North Jersey who come to Union and experience the township,” Jeffrey Fama, owner of the Twelve Truck, told LocalSource. “I opened my food almost four years ago and was recruited by Union Township to come to the Food Truck Fests in 2020, after the pandemic, to bring comfort and support.”

Given the continued success of his food truck, Fama has ambitions of expanding to New York, Virginia and Hoboken.

“I would love to have two or three food trucks to attend the food truck festivals at Pier 13 in Hoboken, or in New York and Virginia, where I have family,” Fama said. “We get invited to other festivals, but cannot always attend, due to scheduling conflicts. My late brother grew up in Virginia Beach, so I would love to bring my business there and represent him and my family.”

The Food Truck Festival is at Biertuempfel Park, 1300 Winslow Ave., every Thursday, from 4 to 8 p.m.
