I attended the Food Truck Frenzy on Friday, June 12th in Lenexa. This popular event, which occurred immediately after the Civic Center groundbreaking, had a huge turnout! Each of the 12 vendors had long lines of people waiting to try a variety of tasty cuisines. My personal favorite was Jazzy B's chicken tacos with roasted garlic sauce. The kids loved their shaved ice treats from Sweet Caroline's Ice Box. With 10 flavors to choose from, it was hard for them to decide on which to get!Another Food Truck Frenzy is planned for September 25th during lunchtime hours. I highly recommend you get there early because the lines will be long! Check out the website for more information about this event and the vendor list.
