TGIF is back! The South Granville Business Improvement Association
(SGBIA) organized Thank Granville It's Food Trucks (TGIF). Every Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday from 11 in the morning until 7 in the evening from June
through the last weekend of August, there will be a
rotating lineup of food trucks along West 10th Avenue at Fir Street in front of the
Vancouver School Board building.
Lunch from Overland Sandwich Food Truck
Like last year, we will do our best to try as many food trucks as possible.
Today is the first Saturday of TGIF 2022, and we went to the area at 12 NN and
ordered from the only food truck they have, Overland Sandwich.
We ordered the Original and Tonkatsu sandwiches and cheesy fries.

Both sandwiches are delicious but in different ways. I enjoyed the sourness of
the pickled onion in the Original because it perfectly balances the fried pork. Meanwhile,
the tonkatsu is more traditional in flavour, so it felt familiar. I think I'll
order the Original again next time.

TGIF Improvements
Below are some changes from 2021 to 2022 and how they have improved the event.
-
Trash cans. They placed two large garbage cans in the area, which
is definitely an improvement from last year when there were none.
-
Table and chairs. They added a couple tables with chairs on the
south side of the park. It's beautifully painted in the same colour as the
TGIF logo.
-
Performer. While enjoying our lunch, there's a performer singing.
It's an excellent addition to the event.
Overall, my journey to lose weight will be more difficult with TGIF back
this year. But, I am happy to support small food truck businesses that come
to the neighbourhood.
June 25 update
Overland Sandwich is at TGIF again, and this time we ordered a large chilli cheese fries.
