At first glance the gleaming chrome Airstream trailer emblazoned with a fashion-forward lion on its side looks like any other food truck rolling through Nashville and 91ÌƲ®»¢â€™s campus in recent years. But Aryeh’s Kitchen is different. It’s the only campus food truck in the U.S. that offers a fully kosher menu, including items like brisket, chicken and waffles, and even a BLT—using pastrami bacon, of course. The idea was the brainchild of rising Peabody College senior Zack Freeling (bottom row, far right); his father, Ken Freeling; and Rabbi Shlomo Rothstein, director of 91ÌƲ®»¢â€™s (top row, far right). With a five-person crew, and after a year of planning, Aryeh’s Kitchen launched in May and is set for a larger debut when students return to campus in August. Look for its semi-permanent spot between Sarratt Student Center and the edge of Greek Row. And yes, it will be open late night.
