Organizers of Food Truck Warz in Brandon, MB continue to work vigorously towards putting forth the best possible experience for those attending this year's event.  Last night the organizing committee gathered for a three hour strategic planning session where many important decisions were finalized.   With the additional space downtown provided this years event, a beer garden and Wonder Shows Mid Way was added.  "One of the most common questions we have been getting so far is where is everything going to go and how is it going to look" said Darryl Wolski.   While not everything has been 100% cemented in stone organizers have released a short video of what people can expect to see come mid-September.  Additional details will also be released closer to the event.

With just over two months left before Brandon's second annual Food Truck Warz, organizers are pleased to announce two food trucks who will be making their first appearance at the event. The Poutine King (pictured above) specializes in 15 kinds of gourmet poutine with fresh home made Montreal style fries and real cheese curds.  Substantial portions is what you can expect at this truck.    They use fresh Manitoba potatoes, cut right on the truck.  The fries are cooked to a golden brown prior to being covered in Montreal cheese curds and gravy.  Be sure to try the Real Canadian which features fresh mushrooms, onions, and bacon. Available as dogs or burgers, Fhat Dogs serves various types of gourmet hot dogs including Japanese,  Korean, Mexican, a Prairie Dog (which will feature bacon), and a Maritime dog utilizing east coast lobster. Veggie Dawgs are also available.  Food from this vendor has been seen on television shows like Carnival Eats, Eat Street, and Anthony Bordain.

Food Truck Warz has already added several new features (increased # of food trucks, larger downtown location, Wonder Shows Midway, 3rd day) that could make the community celebration more popular than ever. Today organizers are pleased to announce the plan to add a fenced-in beer garden, hosted by Career Connections Inc, to this year's festivities.  The proposed occupancy for the beer garden will be approximately 750 people with both Budweiser and Bud Light being served.  Rum, Rye and Vodka will also be available.
