Meet food writer Rekaya Gibson at the Great Food Truck Festival in Newport News

Join me for the fifth annual Great Food Truck Festival on Saturday, with more than 20 food trucks and dessert vendors. Attendees can enjoy samples for $3 each, and games and performances are planned throughout the afternoon.

At 3 p.m., local celebrities and I will start judging the food, with the winner deemed Best of 2022 (and receiving a trophy).

I look forward to meeting new taste buds — foodie friends — there.
