A new lunch truck has emerged at 12th and Montgomery Streets called Vernalicious.

Today is the food truck’s second day on campus, according to owner Verna Swerdlow.  Swerdlow, a Philadelphia native, works alongside boyfriend Dave Jurkofsky in the truck.

Their tagline, “Simply Good Food,” hopes to describe the items on its menu, which features home-style griddled mac and cheese and their specialty, lamb.

Be sure to pick up The Temple News next Tuesday, Sept. 27, with the 2011 Lunchies insert to learn more about Vernalicious and other food trucks on campus.
