She broke even in one month with her U$30,000 investment in the makan truck.

The truck has kababs in three different proteins: chicken, steak, or lamb. They also have lamb or chicken curry, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala. The meat dishes come with two of four featured vegetables, rice, and naan bread.

Gourmet is the name of the game in two food trucks that have been popping up at Stark County sites and events in recent months. Both the Stone Pelican Rolling Cafe and Denostas Wood Fired Grille are owned by professionally trained chefs, and their menus feature diverse dishes, from lamb chops to vegan wraps.

The Mobile Global Bistro menu focuses on Mediterranean/coastal, Californian fusion and Asian bistro-style dishes such as Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches. Benson said she uses locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, and incorporates “amazing” sauces and condiments with each dish — many of which she makes herself.

Due to positive feedback and high demand,’’ the food trucks will continue to be available every Friday at 11 a.m. through Oct. 25
