Food Truck Fans: Don't Miss the Battle on the Yellowstone 8/28

Going out to eat with my family can be a challenge because 9 times out of 10, everybody wants something different. One kid doesn't eat chicken. Another of my minions basically avoids anything healthy. I like spicy food, nobody else does. Parents, surely you can feel my pain here, right?

It's for a great cause too.

The 3rd annual event is brought to you by the Breakfast Exchange Club and proceeds from this year's event will benefit a local veteran's organization. The Club says,

The Food Truck Battle on the Yellowstone is a fundraiser where the proceeds specifically go to a Veteran’s organization. 10% of the sales from the food trucks and all proceeds from gate fees and beer sales will go to the organization(s) chosen.

The Veterans Meat Locker will be offering free packages of meat to veterans near the gate. Some seating is available at the event, but feel free to bring your own lawn chair or blanket. You can find out more about the Food Truck Battle on the Yellowstone on their Facebook page and learn more about the Breakfasts Exchange Club HERE.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
