Tartan Food Truck Takeover Returns March 18
Students at Carnegie Mellon University will have more opportunities to eat locally this spring as the Tartan Food Truck Takeover returns to Legacy Plaza with a new lineup of Pittsburgh-based restaurants.
Launched in the fall of 2023, Michael Maddalon, a senior student at Tepper School of Business, initiated the student-led Tartan Food Truck Takeover program in partnership with CMU Dining and Chartwells Higher Ed. The program features a rotation of local Pittsburgh restaurants serving a new menu weekly. The Tartan Express spring lineup will include the most popular businesses from the fall semester and several new restaurants selected based on student votes.
The Tartan Food Truck is open to undergraduate and graduate students, staff, faculty, and community members. Accepted payments include meal blocks, FLEX, DineXtra, and credit/debit cards.
