May 2024 Food Truck Guide!

Every third Thursday (but, fourth Thursday in this month!) from March until December, join the stores & restaurants along Medford’s Main Street for the monthly food truck showcase from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Each month, a varied and different lineup of trucks from throughout the region stops in front of your favorite Main Street shops to share unique menu items and special treats not found locally. Additionally, the businesses, shops, breweries, and restaurants along North and South Main Street will be open late with sales, specials, live music, tasting menus, and so much more. This month the event was pushed back a week in order to accommodate the big crowds that our beloved St Mary’s of the Lakes Carnival brings!

First of all, lets show Main Street’s newest brick & mortar a BIG Medford Welcome! 1785 Farmdog is serving up fabulous hot dogs not only at their brick & mortar (formerly Cupcake Wish) but they’ll have a hot dog stand at the corner of Main & Union too for the event. These are pasture to plate hot dogs….topped with a variety of choices from fresh made chili, to sauerkraut & jalapeno mustard. WOW! What’s pasture to plate? Well, these hot dogs are actually made locally, from locally raised cattle because the lovely proprietors behind 1785 Farm Dog also happen to own Medford Cattle Farms! There are few things that surprise us anymore, but, promoting locally made – and delicious – hot dogs is not something we had on our 2024 Bingo Card! We are loving them though!! Try the Dilly Dog! It’s our fav! They’ve also got amazing ice cream, waffles, and baked potatoes too!

No rain, no rainbows! The rain last week sucked, but hey, if it wasn’t for that storm, we wouldn’t have gained Dan’s Waffles! Maritozzi Madness that is…look at these amazing famous Maritozzi! It must be a sign as even Mother Nature has given us cooler weather just for the special occasion. Be sure to stop by and enjoy some of their award-winning Chicken and Waffles as well. They will be located near the Gazebo as the line gets LONG for these delicious treats!
Flavors include: Madagascar Vanilla Chantilly and Fresh Lemon Curd with Jersey Strawberries & Blueberry.

I am much better versed in pork roll vs taylor ham, than I am in the Maine vs Connecticut rolls!
