The Alternative Food Truck

Youngstown's Alternative Food Truck may not offer alternative cuisine per se - in fact quite the opposite, it caters in exquisitely prepped Ohio comfort, from burgers to hot dogs to loaded fries. What makes them truly alternative is the care that goes into each and every dish, taking street food favorites into higher realms of inventive, scrumptious bliss. Fries don't get just loaded, they get stacked eight ways from Sunday in a wide array of flavor combos that'll stretch your tastebuds while hammering your appetite. Likewise, burgers are grilled beyond the norm and into a universe of variations, from beef to lamb to pulled pork, while the hot dogs are fried. There's no comfort classic that can't be shaken off and given an alternative spin - by way of being bigger and better. If the norm's what you've been used to, shake things up and go alternative. You'll find it just tastes better. MUST TRY
