Fries at Tatoheads

The Tatoheads concept definitely intrigued me: it's a food cart serving potato-based foods. So, they serve fries, which makes sense. But how many other potato-based foods are there, really?

Sneak Peek: The Cheesy Truck

The Cheesy Truck, Columbus' long-anticipated grilled cheese truck, held a special "Test Kitchen" weekend on Saturday and Sunday, and I made it over to sample some of their cheesy sandwiches.
