Eight of Sonoma County’s top mobile eateries will compete for the ultimate cheap eats title at the inaugural “Clash of the Cuisines,” taking place Saturday at Old Caz Beer in Rohnert Park.
Participating vendors include Bayou On The Bay, Galvan’s Eatery, Gerard’s Paella, Lunch Box, Mamadio’s Cheesesteaks, Shokakko Asian Street Food, The Spot and Warpigs Craft Kitchen. Each will debut original dishes in two pricing categories: under $14 and under $8.
Rob Saccuzzo, general manager of Old Caz Beer, said the idea was to create a new kind of food truck event.
“We often hear people say things like, ‘The vendors just bring the same stuff they have at their usual pop-ups,’ or, ‘Everything is $25 … I’d rather sample a bunch of different places.’ So, my idea for the Clash of the Cuisines was to remedy those complaints,” he explained.
In addition to the food competition, the recently-opened Old Caz brewery will debut a new brew created in collaboration with Sonoma County Tourism’s “This is Wine Country” campaign.
Live music begins at 12:30 p.m., featuring Vital Waves, Quami and DJ Big Dave, spinning until 9 p.m.
The event runs from 12:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at SOMO Village, 1500 Valley House, Suite 110, Rohnert Park, 707-665-6668, oldcaz.com.
