Necessity was the mother of invention for Lisa Pyros and Michael Kreischer. None of the taverns they owned in & around Northport had a kitchen so, in 2015, they bought a truck to prepare food. Once they started doing festivals and carnivals and breweries, empanada sales began to outpace those of the Cuban sandwiches, quesadillas, wings, and more. Recipes are informed by Pyros’s mother’s Chilean heritage, but that’s only a starting point: These fried babies are filled with chicken-bacon-ranch, chipotle chicken, Spinach and feta, crab Rangoon, bacon cheeseburger, “2020” (turkey with all the fixings) and even “pizza supreme” (marinara, mozzarella, and ricotta – yes that’s a fried calzone). Dessert empanadas include flan, s’mores and strawberry-Nutella. There are more than 20 varieties, each is $4, or $7 for two. Check the truck’s social media for the schedule!
