(Food Edition) Eating at the Rocky Mountain Gut Truck during Bellecrest Days.
I had the pleasure of attending Bellecrest Days this past weekend, enjoying the activities, vendors and food trucks in downtown Bellevue on June 17. I was there for much of the afternoon enjoying the sites and music spread across the community. I wandered about the streets for a few hours, taking plenty of photos before I eventually got hungry. The food trucks beckoned me, with Rocky Mountain Gut Truck being the choice of the day.
Since I’d never eaten at this food truck before, I was thankful for the long line giving me time to decide what to eat. The menu immediately caught my attention with the unique items available for purchase. I scanned the beef burgers first looking for something familiar and was amazed at the variety. I was looking at the ‘Mac n bacon’ and ‘Jalapeño cream cheese’ burgers, deciding which sounded better, before looking at the chicken burgers.
At once, I knew I had to get the ‘Grilled chicken, bacon and pesto’ burger. I have been having quite a few burgers lately, and this one sounded like a nice change of pace. The pesto was delicious and worked so well with the chicken and bacon. It was well worth the wait; my only regret was not having room for poutine at the time. That just means I will have to go back again! They also have cod, pork and veggie burgers available alongside the numerous beef and chicken burgers.
This is Rocky Mountain Gut Truck’s sixth season in the Crowsnest Pass, although they said it is their first time doing Bellecrest Days as they are normally booked for the season.
“We had a lot of fun seeing all of the locals out and about having a great time and keeping the RMGT going strong for another season. The music was great, and it looked like everyone had a great time. We can’t wait to be a part of it all next year,” said Rocky Mountain Gut Truck through their Facebook page.
I recommend checking the food truck out if you can, they have updates about their location and hours online at facebook.com/RockyMountainGutTruck.
