This past summer, we had one of our favorite grilled cheese sandwiches ever, a maple-infused version from Snowday on Governors Island. The farm-to-truck mobile eatery, which was named Rookie of the Year at the 2014 Vendy Awards, is sponsored by Drive Change, an organization that “builds and operates locally sourced food trucks that hire, teach, and empower formerly incarcerated youth.” On December 17 from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm, Snowday is teaming up with Pure Canadian Maple Syrup to celebrate National Maple Syrup Day by giving out free samples of maple grilled cheese, maple bacon popcorn, mulled maple cider, and, one can only hope, maple snow cones, despite the cold weather. As the Pure Canadian Maple Syrup website points out, “Pure maple syrup sourced from the maple tree not only tastes better than processed sweeteners made from corn syrup, it is also better for you.” You can read more about its nutritional values here, but we’ll be at the truck on Wednesday because their food is just so freakin’ good.
