Food Truck Foodies
A FLYING SAUSAGE
by Shelton Buchanan
over to their brilliance. Opting for the chicken & waffles, which features 2 fried buttermilk chicken sausages served on maple waffles topped with collard greens and a sweet chili sauce, I then chose a side of their home fries to compliment the dish. I was tempted to double down on the collard greens as they are a personal favorite of mine being raised very Southern, but the home fries just seemed to be calling my name.

The day I ventured over to check them out, they were offering BBQ sausage sliders, chorizo tacos, a smoked sausage, a hot Italian sausage, and their iconic chicken & waffles.
