<p>Do you know where you will find us during the Cedar Point Last Blast of Summer? On the midways of course, but not for the normal reasons people come to Cedar Point. We will be there for the annual return of Ohio vs. Michigan Food Truck Challenge!</p>
<p>Many of the finest area food trucks hit the Cedar Point midways August 24-26 and August 31-September 3, 2018, with several of the trucks remaining until the end of the season. </p>
<p>You will always see us as big proponents of the Food Truck Challenge since it allows the park to offer new menu items from fantastic vendors. In addition, with reduced staffing as students head back to school, etc., it puts all of the supply and production of the food onto the trucks. </p>
<p>The only downside is the <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/park-food-guides/cedar-point-food/">Cedar Point dining plans</a> are not accepted at the food trucks, but it can be well worth it to spend some additional money on some terrific food! </p>
<p>So who will be at the 2018 Cedar Point Ohio vs. Michigan Food Truck Challenge?</p>
<h2>Ohio Food Trucks</h2>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.firehousegrillingco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Firehouse Grilling Co.</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/170506-Cedar-Point-Firehouse-Grilling-Co-Burger.jpg"><img src="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/170506-Cedar-Point-Firehouse-Grilling-Co-Burger.jpg" alt="170506 Cedar Point Firehouse Grilling Co Burger" width="4031" height="3024" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12695" /></a></p>
<p>Firehouse Grilling makes some really, really fantastic food! If you do not believe us, Firehouse was also the 2017 Cedar Point food truck wars winner! The sandwiches are fresh and quite possibly the best burger you will ever eat. We have been huge fans since they first showed up on the midway in 2016, and everyone walks away very happy! </p>
<p><a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/171001-Cedar-Point-Fire-House-Grilling-Co.-Chili.jpg"><img src="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/171001-Cedar-Point-Fire-House-Grilling-Co.-Chili.jpg" alt="171001 Cedar Point Fire House Grilling Co. Chili" width="960" height="720" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13068" /></a></p>
<p>When Fire House offers the chili, you must try it! Absolutely fantastic on those cooler fall days, and we think it may be the best chili we have ever eaten! </p>
<p>Also highly recommended is the pineapple burger and the black bean vegetarian burger with the Firehouse slaw! </p>

<p><strong>Empanadas &#038; More</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/161030-Cedar-Point-Empanadas-Food-Truck.jpg"><img src="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/161030-Cedar-Point-Empanadas-Food-Truck.jpg" alt="161030 Cedar Point Empanadas Food Truck" width="960" height="720" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-12696" /></a></p>
<p>We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and trying the empanadas in 2016 and 2017 and it is one of those menu items we can not wait to enjoy again! Super flavorful Puerto Rican pastry filled with a variety of options of meat, cheese, and veggies. </p>
<p>We also LOVE the plantain sandwiches, and the chef/owner is really good at customizing food for special diets, as everything is made fresh! </p>
<p><a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/170930-Cedar-Point-Empanadas-More-Vegan-Plantain-Sandwich.jpg"><img src="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/170930-Cedar-Point-Empanadas-More-Vegan-Plantain-Sandwich.jpg" alt="170930 Cedar Point Empanadas &; More Vegan Plantain Sandwich" width="1200" height="900" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15869" /></a></p>
<p>Our kids loved the empanadas so much, they raided their own piggy banks saying they wanted to eat them again! These are a must try! </p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/gesswhotacos/community/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GessWho Tacos and Chicken &#038; Waffles</a></strong></p>
<p>The team at GessWho continues to surprise us after every visit as they pull off some really unique menu items you will not find anywhere else. </p>
<p>Take for example their secret menu item: Mexi-Balls featuring cream cheese, sausage, jalapeños &#038; secret ingredient, then drizzled w/raspberry sauce! Absolutely outstanding!</p>
<p><a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/180511-Cedar-Point-GessWho-Mexi-Balls.jpg"><img src="http://cpfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/180511-Cedar-Point-GessWho-Mexi-Balls.jpg" alt="180511 Cedar Point GessWho Mexi-Balls" width="1200" height="900" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15871" /></a></p>

<p>The SWAT food truck offers tons of menu options that we always feel like we must try them all! This truck brings out some of the really interesting food options that you will not find anywhere else, and we love it! </p>
<p>Take for example the fried Mac &#038; Cheese burger, which they routinely sell out. </p>
