News For Foodies: 08.06.15
The annual Great Food Truck Derby will roll in to Bridgehampton for the fourth year on Friday, Aug. 14, with a roundup of food trucks offering a wide variety of dishes at the Hayground School from 4 to 7 p.m.
Among the more than a dozen food trucks participating will be Whole Le Crepe, Pizza Luca, Noah’s, Slammin’ Slider Nice Buns, Sea Bean Natural Foods, Sweet ’Tauk, and the Long Island Oyster Company. Tickets, at $65 each, include one serving at every food truck and complimentary beverages, regional wines and craft beer among them. Tickets for kids age 12 and under are $20 and include tastes from four food trucks and a drink. Those who buy V.I.P. tickets for $100 can gain early access, beginning at 3:30 p.m., before the lines at the food trucks begin to grow. Tickets may be ordered, for a fee, online at eventbrite.com.
The event will take place during the same time as the Hayground School’s farmers market and will benefit school programs.

Red Thread donates a portion of the money made from all of its coffee sales to local charitable organizations, and, in New York City, has partnered with God’s Love We Deliver, which delivers meals to those in need.
