Last weekend we attended the Food Truck Festival in Monmouth Park, NJ. Since this was our first time we did not know what to expect.

My favorite brand of hot sugar wax is not available anymore. I searched them in all the stores and even checked online. I don’t know why the manufacturer stopped making them.
