During recent years throughout America the Food Truck has made an incredible comeback to the culinary scene throughout America, offering the versatility of convenience, location, plus the myriad to satisfy nearly any palate. Here in Kalkaska, MI we have experienced this as well. Spread around any available parking lot, they are now concentrated in Railroad Square downtown.
'My Summer Gig' is one of these, located downtown at Railroad Square, Andy Henderson and his wife Molly have operated this for two years now, building a following worth recognition. Andy is a teaching alumnus of the Kalkaska Public Schools. Summer Gig
Their menu consists of burgers and grilled cheese, the home of the Jam Shesh, and PB & J Burger. They also offer many flavors of grilled cheese, and wraps, as well as their famous refreshing Boba drink. Menu - Summer Gig Food The menu is diverse, covering a wide variety of tastes. There are two other food trucks on the square, one Mexican, one taco. Andy and Molly have the only burger outfit. On the day we visited only Andy was open.
On a Monday with errands on the agenda Barb and I decided to stop in. She ordered the Classic 1/4 pound cheeseburger while I chose the Specialty Jalapeno Popper Burger. As I had never had one let alone heard of them I also ordered the brown sugar Boba. The waitress must have loved me as she had to explain every single step or option for preparing my Boba. She was very friendly and helpful. As this is a food truck there is no seating except for a nearby pavilion which was very nice.
Classic 1/4 pound cheeseburger
What do you expect from another burger place food truck? Barb and I loved our food. The beef is delicious and the Brioche buns very buttery. I loved the Jalapeno Popper cheese and it was tasty in every bite. The Boba had a coffee type flavor and it was very refreshing. We left full and content. The Railroad Square is a wonderful addition to the downtown area with the Farmer's Market and the Food Area. Andy and Molly are friendly, cordial folks and bring it to their offerings. They are a very nice addition to the local food scene. Their food and service are excellent and I highly recommend it. I see a return visit in our future. On a scale of 1 to 5?
