A total of 11 food trucks will come to the Onondaga Community College campus two Thursdays in October -- 15th & 22nd — for Food Truck Frenzy. Food trucks will be in parking lot 13, which is directly in front of the SRC Arena. All proceeds will benefit the OCC Foundation’s Lazer Response Fund which supports OCC students who face unprecedented challenges due to COVID-19.

The Food Truck Frenzy lineup for Oct. 15 includes: Birdsong Cafe, PB&J’s Lunchbox, Cue Dogs, Oompa Loompyas, Skippys and Toss & Fire. Also, American Dining Creations will be there both days serving apple treats and cider.

Anyone coming to campus must go through the college's screening process while still in their vehicles. Screening includes a no-touch temperature check and a series of Covid-related questions. Masks and social distancing are required on the OCC campus.

If you’re looking for a creative way to use those fall vegetables, then join this live virtual cooking demonstration with Chef Tiesha Muhammed-Bey, owner of Bad Vegen Café. Learn how to make a vegan West African peanut soup using seasonal ingredients from local food producer Brady Farm. Enjoy a special viewing of bowls created by acclaimed ceramist David MacDonald, as Chef Muhammed-Bey plates the Peanut soup.

Chef Muhammed-Bey will be joined by Garth Johnson, the Everson Museum’s Paul Phillips and Sharon Sullivan, the curator of ceramics, who will share one of the museum’s most precious treasures—a water dispenser created by legendary Nigerian potter Ladi Kwali. Kwali studied under British potter Michael Cardew, and made many trips abroad to share her knowledge about African pottery and demonstrate her work. The recipe will be provided in your registration confirmation.

Cost is $6.40 for Everson Museum members and $8 for non-members. Attendees must pre-register.
