Curb Your Appetite (food truck)
You won't want to miss this food truck. This food truck serves delicious piles of pierogis, sausages, fries and more! Our favourite are the pierogis - you get to pick your filling (jalapeno is our personal favourite), and the toppings. We were hesitant to try the different toppings, but our only regret was not trying them sooner. Mexican is Kylee's favourite (the pico de gallo is so refreshing!), and Craig loves the classic (bacon, onion, sour cream, and green onions), but don't miss out on the pizza pierogis either! 30 minute drive to The Cottage on Loon Lake
