Union Kitchen & Tap jumps into the food truck fray

Union Kitchen & Tap and the OMG Hospitality Group hit the ground rolling with their new Union Kitchen & Catering Food Truck.

Since 2008, the OMG Hospitality Group has grown from one concept to five — Union Kitchen & Tap Encinitas, Union Kitchen & Tap Gaslamp, PB AleHouse, Backyard Kitchen & Tap, Waterbar — and this new restaurant-on-wheels brings its menu staples up and down San Diego County.

The mobile kitchen offers items like its Nashville hot chicken sandwich, packed with breaded, all-natural chicken thigh, basil aioli, Nashville hot sauce, pickles and slaw, as well as the AleHouse grilled cheese, made with candied bacon, AleHouse beer cheese, American cheese and tomato on caramelized onion bread.

Other tempting bites include a variety of loaded fries and house favorites like their Union gumbo and Mexican street corn. The roaming food truck will be parked Saturday at 1 p.m. at Societe Brewing Company, 8262 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego. localunion101.com
