There is no shortage of choice at Food Truck Tuesday in Larkinville, especially with six new vendors joining the lineup. From 5 to 8 p.m.
every Tuesday from June 4 through Aug. 27, there will be 20 food trucks from a rotating list of 38 at Larkin Square (745 Seneca St.) against a backdrop of live music.
From meatball subs to lobster rolls, vegan ice cream to protein coffee, the new food trucks expand the already abundant food and drink choices available each week. Here’s a look at what’s new. Kole Kingsland is creating next-level homemade ice cream in homemade waffle cones at his Big Papa’s Creamery food truck.
Big Papa’s Creamery During the pandemic, third-generation barber Kole Kingsland watched a YouTube video of someone making ice cream and thought, “That looks easy.” So, he bought an ice cream machine and began serving ice cream to his clients after cutting their hair. Eventually, Kingsland pivoted to full-time ice cream creation.
It’s the third season for Big Papa’s Creamery and first time at Larkin Square. Big Papa’s offers around a dozen regular flavors – salted caramel crunch is popular – and two or three dairy-free flavors. The lemon poppyseed, orange cream and blueberry flavors are vegan.
Kingsland uses seasonal, local produce to make special flavors, such as balsamic strawberry pepper, peach and blueberry cobbler, and natural ingredients including spirulina, beets and turmeric, to color the ice cream. Kingsland is building a new ice cream sho.
