At the Syracuse Food Truck Battle, the competition is about more than just bragging rights. Nick Sanford of Toss & Fire Pizza explains how attendees cast their votes by pulling tabs for their favorite trucks, while a panel of judges — including local media personalities and a crew from the Syracuse Fire Department — weigh in on the best of the best. The winners walk away with custom championship belts that look straight out of the 1990s wrestling circuit, and trucks that earn one proudly display it. With categories for top truck and most unique, the Food Truck Battle brings a whole new level of fun to the food festival experience. The event takes place May 8th and 9th at the Great New York State Fair.
