Food trucks line up for Super Bowl

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Indy's food trucks are now involved in the biggest event to hit the city: the Super Bowl.

Two dozen trucks will line the northwest portion of Monument Circle and Market Street leading up to, and including, Super Bowl Sunday.

One truck owner said he'll even need to hire more staff.

“Who doesn't want to be a part of Super Bowl?” John Ban, owner of The NY Slice food truck, asked. “It's the largest sporting event, it's going to be televised, it's just a great atmosphere, tons of parties.”

If pizza isn't your taste, another truck may have what is.

“We are going to have everything from tenderloins to pizza, sandwiches, cupcakes, brownies, coffee, gourmet mac 'n cheese, pretzels, tacos,” Susie Townsend with the Super Bowl Host Committee said.

Add to that spuds with gourmet toppings, Cajun food and Indian food trucks.

Townsend said the meals will cost anywhere from $2 to $15.

Each truck is registered with the county health department and had to purchase an additional $75 license for Super Bowl.

Townsend said they're a new trend for the big game, something not seen in either of the two previous host cities, Miami and Dallas.

Trucks will operate in two separate shifts; 12 trucks per shift. Trucks will be on the circle from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Jan. 27-29 and Feb. 2-5.
