Food Truck Returns with New Look, Name & Menu

Photo cr: UConn Dining Services

After a short hiatus, the UConn Dining food truck will be returning to Fairfield Way with a new look, new name, and new menu for the spring semester.

The truck has been a part of UConn Dining retail operations since 2015 and the new look and name, Food For The Pack, radiates Husky pride!

The revamped menu (see below) is all about the American classic combo of burgers and fries! Stop by and try a burger from the menu and say “hi” to Chef Laura!

The truck operates weekdays on Fairfield Way (near the library) from 11am-4pm. Like many of our other retail locations, the food truck is cashless. The truck accepts Husky Bucks and credit/debit (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover).

If you are interested in reserving the truck for an event, please contact Truck Manager John Smith at john.smith@uconn.edu.
