On Saturday, St. George along the University of Toronto was closed for an outdoors "Science Fair" hosted by university students. Parents with children in tow can visit various booths to bounce on top of a wading pool filled with non-Newtonian fluid, set fire to a calorie-rich gummi bear in a test tube, learn about genes, and discover other scientific experiments in biology, pharmacy, chemistry and other sciences.

There were also 4 food trucks on hand to feed the horde: El Gastronomo, Toasted Tangerine, Cupcake Diner, and Shriner's Creek Popcorn. Having already eaten a large corn pie from Jumbo Empanada, I was too full to try very much. But I did get small pork schnitzel ($6.50) from Gastronomo.

It was tender pork, well-breaded and fried but not overly oily. The squirt of lime and chopped herbs added a fresh touch. Though light and flavourful, I'm not sure the garlic aioli added much to the dish.

Unlike other food truck gatherings, there was no line-up. In fact, while I was there, no horde made an appearance. The families who were there didn't seem inclined to pay $8 for Korean chicken wings or pressed sandwiches. The vendors may not have even covered the cost of keeping their generators running.
