History

The Grease Trucks started operating in the early 1980s. Initially, they were a late-night food option for Rutgers students, but over time, they have become a daytime food destination as well. The trucks are typically parked along College Avenue and are a staple of the Rutgers University campus.

Menu

The menu at the Grease Trucks is diverse, with sandwiches being the primary offering. These sandwiches, known as "Fat Sandwiches," are characterized by their large size and the variety of ingredients they contain. Common ingredients include cheese steak, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, french fries, and various sauces. Some of the most popular sandwiches include the "Fat Darrell," named after a student who originally suggested its combination of ingredients, and the "Fat Cat," which includes two cheeseburgers, fries, lettuce, tomato, and onions, all loaded onto a single roll.

Cultural Impact

The Grease Trucks have had a significant cultural impact on Rutgers University. They have been featured in various media outlets, including The New York Times and The Daily Show. In 2004, the "Fat Darrell" was named the country's best sandwich by Maxim Magazine. The trucks have also inspired similar food truck operations at other universities.
