With traditional breakfast food, Loyola is redefining lunch with their new waffle-based food truck.

Created by Sodexo Campus Services, Ironside Waffles will give students the opportunity to dine on a unique menu on Wednesdays. Students can pay with cash, credit card or Wolfbucks.

Travis Johnson, Sodexo’s district executive chef, said the food truck got its name after the Sodexo team brainstormed with the concept of waffles already in mind.

“We knew waffles would be a hot concept because you could do so many fun things with it, from sweet to savory,” Johnson said.

Students who eat at the food truck, such as Meghan Cart, English writing sophomore, said they enjoy the new option.

“It’s a great way to shake up what we already have because you can never go wrong with waffles. I can order Subway everyday, but there’s only so much you can do with sandwiches,” Cart said.

According to Johnson, since it’s creation, Ironside Waffles was awarded the “Best Menu” by Food Management Best Concept Awards in 2015 and is one of the top ten food trucks in New Orleans.

“The culinary team on Tulane’s campus put together the menu and did taste tests, infusing local products as well as local menu concepts to create new innovations, such as chicken and waffles with a southern style slaw and chicken breast dipped in maple syrup,” Johnson said.

Troyneshi Mason, an employee at Ironside, said that the customers keep her and her staff on their toes on Wednesdays.

“The lines are long and busy from open to close, but we move pretty fast so it doesn’t take too long to serve everyone what they ordered,” Mason said.

Johnson said that Sodexo’s staff is working hard to bring creative and fresh ideas to the students and their dining options.

“This is an example of the talent that we have in Sodexo in this area and our partnership between both schools, and how we share resources and are innovative in the new concepts that we bring to the students,” Johnson said.
