Sporkalicious! A review of Sporks Food Truck






Located on 2135 A1A South on St. Augustine Beach , Sporks is the newest edition to the Food Truck scene. Father and son , owners Benk and Miles Dagevos have embarked on a new business venture together , making their mark on the food truck frontier that slowly but surely is coming to fruition in St. Augustine. "It took us 4 months to get all the permitting and licensing for Sporks," Miles recalls. A reality   that all food trucks in the area have faced , but luckily have not discouraged.

The inspiration for the name of the food truck was quite simple. They wanted something short and catchy, hence, Sporks it was. Having only been operating for 3 weeks or so, Sporks found their own niche that sets them apart from the others, a rotating menu. Everyday, the specials change to whatever fresh ingredients Miles and Benk can get their hands on. Even the type of salsa they use is made fresh and different daily , a salsa du jour if you will. With Benk having been in the restaurant business since the 80's and Miles having 9 years experience , the collaboration is nothing short of delicious.

St. Aug Blog was fortunate enough sample one of their daily specials which was true to their mission, unique, delicious, and cooked to perfection. Cuban Pork Sliders with Minorcan Mustard and side of BACON Mac and Cheese topped with Miles' signature sauce, Hay Bale Sauce. He would not reveal the ingredients so I suppose you will have to stop by and try it for yourself! When asked how he came up with different sauces and salsas Miles simply said, " I just wing it. I usually take a recipe and then switch out an ingredient for another and just see what happens."

Other specials that Sporks has featured are Pulled Pork, Pot Roast Sliders , Chick Parmesan Sliders ,Chicken Pesto Sliders, Gumbo, Chili , Fried Onion Burger , and they will usually have some sort of local fish tacos on the menu for all you taco enthusiasts. Sides also rotate , but you will surely find Bacon Mac and Cheese, Costa Rican beans and rice ( topped with Lizano!) , and using corn tortillas , made to order chips with fresh salsa. All of these specials are in the 8$ range. Great fresh food with a side, you just can't beat it. But the question I know everyone is waiting for...do they actually have one of the most innovative eating utensils ever introduced to mankind? Yes! Sporks for everyone! "If you can't eat it with a spork we're not serving it, no just kidding!" That's a little Benk Dagevos joke. Sporks is open Tuesday through Saturday form 11 A.M. till dusk. Seating is provided. Dine at or take out! A wonderful new addition to St. Augustine Beach, truly a must!
