Sambuca Gives Back; Food Truck Fest Fail

UPTOWN — Sambuca has donated its space, appetizers and half-priced drinks to Help US Help Them - A Benefit for the Aurora Survivors. Hosted by Gene and Julie Gates from 103.7 Lite FM/KVIL, the event takes place from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday. A $20 donation is suggested. [Eaterwire]

TRUCKWIRE — Mmm! Just what everyone wants for a food truck fest: noxious fumes and dank heat inside a parking garage. The Midtown Food Truck Festival was a miss. [Food Truck Connection via Pegasus News]

ARLINGTON — Clearly Nacho Cheese Doritos were a win for Taco Bell, so why not for Ballpark nachos? Oh, and why not a competitive eating challenge around the Boomstick two-foot hot dog? One word: arteries. [City of Ate]
