Campo’s is a sandwich shop in Old City with a huge variety of sandwiches, including some allegedly decent cheesesteaks. I don’t know if its just me, but some days I like to gross myself out by ordering a meal I really shouldn’t. It just feels right to pick out something a cardiologist would be disgusted with. Usually this happens after a night of drinking or a night of having salad for dinner. Luckily, Campo’s make it easy.
Today Luncher John is at the new and improved Dapper Dog
One of the new trucks in the LOVE Park regular rotation this year is The Dapper Dog. Originating as a late weekend night hot dog cart in Northern Liberties, The Dapper Dog now has a full-fledged food truck with one regular weekly appearance at LOVE Park. You can easily spot it by the fantastic illustration on the left side of the red truck.

The Victoria Freehouse opened a few months ago in Old City, as far east as you can go. The place serves British pub food, though it is ”freehouse” and not a pub, get it right!
And in the spirit of welcoming the trucks back to LOVE Park, today Luncher John is eating from one.
Looking for a unique style of food not widely offered anywhere else in the city? Pay a visit to the Zea May’s Food Truck and Kitchen. Love Park’s current resident truck on Mondays (and every other Wednesday), Zea May’s Kitchen features Native American-inspired cuisine. Even if you’re not too familiar with the food style, you could probably surmise that squash, potatoes, corn and berries are prominently featured.
Today, Happily Ever After, a dessert shop, opens in Old City. It offers frozen yogurt, shaved ice, and Belgian waffles. I got to preview the space last night.
That’s right guys! The trucks are back today! The starting line up for today is a good one: Mac Mart Cart, Local 215, and Farm Truck.
LOVE Park is doing it differently this season, there will be a set rotation of trucks you may have enjoyed last year every day except of the week; Lil Dans, Lucky Old Souls, Buttercream, Delicias, Dapper Dog, Sweet Box, Chewys, Foo, Vernalicious, Zea Mays, Pitruco.
Then on Wednesday they are bringing in different trucks each week that are new to the Park; Baguette Philly, Cupcake Carnivale, Foolish Waffles, Good Phellas, Guerilla Ultima BBQ, Innovative Catering Concepts, Just Jackie’s, Mama’s Meatballs, Mucho Bueno, Schmear IT, Street Food Philly, Surf and Turf, Zsa’s
