The Food Truck
About Us
The Healthy Drive is a student operated food truck, which students at Lyman Hall are properly trained to serve. Customers can enjoy quality meals on the go at a reasonable price. We have participated in many events such as Relay for Life, Taste of Wallingford, Allnex’s Community Day, and Masonic Care Employee Lunch-In. Students in the culinary program here at Lyman Hall demonstrate their professionalism through their service on the food truck in town wide events.
The food truck business begins with a deep understanding of culinary techniques. Students learn how to handle customers and serve an array of food items starting in Food Service 1 & 2 courses. It's necessary for students to work at a well paced time while managing multiple orders in a confined environment. Student chefs must also understand how to prepare individual food items through different cooking methods. For example, grilling is a key element for operating a successful food truck business. The menu for the event made by students based on the costumer's interests. The Healthy Drive is available to be booked for events.
