Howdy, Partners!

Get ready to ride! We want to make sure no one is left with a rumbling tummy out on the range, so here is the trail guide for "grub" at the event.

The Ground Rules: Please be advised that no free meals or concessions will be provided at this event. This applies to everyone, including our hardworking Trail Crew (our amazing volunteers!). While we will have some light snacks to keep the Trail Crew moving, everyone should be prepared to provide their own full lunch.

How to fill your belly:

  • The Food Truck Corral: Three food trucks and one dessert wagon will be hitched up and ready for purchases from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.

    • Meal Prep Cafe (We Luv Spudz)

      • Description: A Pearland-based specialist in "Build Your Own Spuds" (loaded baked potatoes) and healthy meal prep services.

    • Foreign Policy Food Truck

      • Website: foreignpolicytruck.com

      • Description: A global fusion truck serving a diverse "diplomatic" menu of Korean, Greek, Mexican, and American street food.

    • Mingo's Latin Kitchen
