The Silo Food Truck, known for its tasty fried chicken, sticky rice, and mac & cheese, has been a favorite in Ithaca since it opened outside Liquid State Brewing Company in 2020. However, the owners, Jesse and Katie, recently announced that they will be closing this location in September.
But there’s no need to panic! They reassured fans that this isn’t the end. Silo plans to keep serving its delicious food at community events like Porchfest and the Apple Harvest Festival. In 2026, they will focus on warm-weather festivals and select private catering gigs.
Their last weekend at Liquid State will coincide with the brewery’s Oktoberfest, taking place on September 13th and 14th. After that, Silo will shift gears but remain active in the community, which is great news for loyal customers.
Food trucks offer a cozy, outdoor dining experience that many people love. They often serve comfort food, bringing people together in a casual setting. According to a recent survey by the Food Truck Association, nearly 70% of Americans enjoy visiting food trucks, highlighting their rising popularity.
As the food scene evolves, community-supported initiatives play a crucial role. Silo is a great example of how local businesses adapt to changes while staying connected to their community. The bond they share with their customers keeps them motivated and engaged in local events.
So, if you want to catch Silo before they close at Liquid State, make sure to visit before Oktoberfest. You won’t want to miss your favorite comfort foods before they focus their efforts elsewhere for the next season. Keep an eye out for their upcoming event schedule—there’s still plenty of deliciousness to enjoy!
