The area around The Amazing Brentwood has transformed a lot in the last few years and will continue evolving to bring more people into the area. The latest event to pop up is the Brentwood Great Takeout, a Food Truck Festival presented by Grosvenor and organized by the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival.
With the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s not your ordinary food truck festival, but a adapted version to keep safe with their families.
This festival will now taking place weekly every Saturday until September 26 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on part of Grosvenor’s latest development site in Burnaby. The ‘Brentwood Great Takeout’ series is part of Brentwood Community Days presented by Grosvenor and demonstrates the developer’s commitment to building engaging and meaningful public spaces.
I personally loves these types of event happening in our city as it brings our community together and makes it more lively, plus it makes the neighbourhood much more tasty.
The food trucks do rotate, so make sure to check back weekly on the Greater Vancouver Food Truck Festival website.
We were invited to check out the food trucks at the Brentwood Great Takeout.
Parking
There is complimentary parking available if you decide to drive. There is also lots of public transportation options like the Brentwood Skytrain Station and buses.
Safety
To ensure your family’s safety, hand sanitizers are offered at the entrance and wearing masks are highly encouraged. They limit the amount of people into the festival, one way entry, and social distancing.
Also, note you can’t eat on the premises.
Food and Drink
As the food trucks do rotate weekly, keep an eye on their website to see if your favourite food truck is at the Brentwood Great Takeout. When we were here, we got to check out:
- Salt Spring Noodle Bar
- Wing’s Outdoor Grill
- Indian Delicacy
- Slavic Rolls
- Los Tacos Hermanos
- Lenny’s Lemonade
- Betty’s Greek Honey Ballz – Loukoumades
I personally loved Betty’s Greek Honey Ballz – Loukoumades and Indian Delicacy (butter chicken poutine is amazing).
Final Thoughts
Overall, it’s a quick stop to grab some food. You can’t eat inside the event area, so you’ll have to eat it somewhere close by or take it home. We opted to grab it all to go and enjoy it at home as we live close by.
