Mobile food will be making a pitstop at the Halton Hills Health, Home and Happiness (#H5) Show, on May 2-3. It's all happening at the Mold-Masters SportPlex in Georgetown, sponsored by the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce and The Independent & Free Press. Food trucks will be in the parking lot, along with displays from local car dealers, big trucks from the Town, and classic cars. "It's food on the move-- real gourmet food," said Matt Donohoe of The Co-operators in Georgetown. The company has about 50 food truck operators as clients, offering them a package of vehicle and business insurance. "A real culture has grown around it in Hamilton and especially Toronto," he said. Operators use social media such as Twitter and Facebook to let customers know exactly when and where they will be selling their food. There are mobile apps that track food truck schedules, map their locations and al- low users to tap into operators' Twitter feeds. The Eat St. TV show that follows the trend across North America is into its fourth season on the Food Network. The Gorilla Cheese truck will be at Mold- Masters on Satur- day only, serving up variations on the grilled cheese sand- wich. Their Lum- berjack has cheddar, bacon, sliced Granny Smith apples and maple syrup, while the Gorilla Sarducci has mozzarella, to- matoes, red onions, fresh basil and a bal- samic glaze.

Focused on the theme of "Small Town Liv- ing At Its Best," the H5 Show will showcase more than 100 local businesses and is expect- ed to draw more than 3,000 visitors.
