CUDDEBACKVILLE—A new food truck has set up residence off 209 in Deerpark, and it is uost likely the only food truck in Town, said owner Ranae Ruger.
The 20-year Navy veteran started the food truck after selling baked goods at farmers markets through her business Piranha Cafe.
She said she was thinking about opening a brick and mortar café but liked the idea of being mobile, and being able to offer homemade food at competitive prices.
“I love to cook and I love to bake so a very good friend of mine said, ‘Why don’t you get a food truck?’” she said.
Piranha Grill opened March 21 and already it has some regulars who are spreading the word, Ruger said.
The menu, which at this point is lunch and breakfast only, boasts donut muffins, egg sandwiches, burgers, spiedies, freshly made french-fries, and “piranhaissimos,” which is chicken or pork with provolone, onions and peppers on a roll or in a pita.
She says she tries to use organic ingredients as much as possible, and source everything locally, including the truck.
“I ordered it in October from [Paul] Congelosi Trailer [Sales] in Montgomery, it was built in Pennsylvania at Integrity [Trailers, Inc.] … and then I went to Mountain Restaurant Supply in Middletown and ordered all of my equipment,” she said.
