Nearly 35 food vendors will feed the crowds at this year’s San Diego LGBT Pride festival, scheduled for July 16-17 at Marston Point in Balboa Park. Among them are two “gastro trucks” new to the San Diego food scene and a Swiss hot dog vendor specializing in baguette-encased hot dogs more commonly found on the streets of Zurich.
The Super Q food truck will wheel in a full menu of meats slow-roasted over hickory wood. Festivalgoers can opt for sliders, sandwiches and plates filled with pork, chicken and beef brisket. Potato salad, coleslaw and three-cheese mac-n-cheese are also among Super Q’s specialties.
“Virtually everything we serve from the truck is house-made, with the truck being the ‘house,’” says proprietor J.R. Kaminski, who has been a San Diego Pride festival patron for several years before launching his mobile kitchen in February.
A more recently launched food truck, Jack’s Munchie Mobile by Jack in the Box, will be on site serving an abbreviated menu from its chain of eateries. The company’s famous “two tacos for 99 cents” are among the offerings.
Among the non-mobile food vendors comes Sweiners, a new San Diego pop-up vendor serving Swiss-style hot dogs with raclette cheese tucked into fresh baguettes.
Other food choices at the festival include everything from corn on the cob and barbecue meals to pizza, pasta, burgers and Asian foods.
