<strong>Siouxland</strong> Food Trucks<br />

Louis Bros family style BBQ<br />

Quincy Louis started Louis Bros family style BBQ with just a<br />

small smoker,a table and a canopy. It has grown in the past<br />

couple of years with the purchase of a food truck and a lot of<br />

family support. They have received many excellent reviews and<br />

are very thankful to their customers. Their<br />

goal is to someday open a restaurant.<br />

Everything Calzones<br />

Todd and Kathy Cleveland own Everything Calzones, a mobile<br />

pizzeria specializing in calzones and pizza by the slice. The<br />

crowd faves include the Philly cheesesteak calzone, the<br />

pepperoni calzone, the loaded cheese pizza, the chicken<br />

bacon ranch pizza, and the Meat-tastic pizza (pepperoni, Italian<br />

sausage, ribeye steak bacon). They make their own sauces, use<br />

local bakery dough, and bake their creations on-site in a big<br />

oven in their food truck. Last year, they catered a wedding and<br />

made calzones, pizzas, and ribeye Italian sausage spaghetti,<br />

along with a super fresh salad bar and house-made dressings.<br />

They are hoping to do this full-time in the future, but for now<br />

they’re open weekends!<br />

Q&A with Andy Boesch, Creator of <strong>Siouxland</strong> Local Eats<br />

By Kolby DeWitt<br />

Kolby DeWitt<br />

<strong>Siouxland</strong> Local Eats is a<br />

Facebook group designed<br />

to highlight local food in the<br />

Sioux City area. Originally<br />

created to help restaurants<br />

survive during the COVID-19<br />

pandemic, <strong>Siouxland</strong> Local<br />

Eats continues to serve as a<br />

place of discovery for those<br />

looking for great local food<br />

and beverage options.<br />

1) What gave you the idea to start <strong>Siouxland</strong> Local<br />

Eats? <strong>Siouxland</strong> Local Eats was created on March 17th,<br />

2020. This was right after Iowa restaurants were required to<br />

close for dine-in service and were limited to carryout only.<br />

Being familiar with the restaurant industry I knew this would<br />

be absolutely devastating to our local restaurants and that<br />

they would need our support. So after talking with several<br />

family members we decided to start a Facebook group,<br />

originally called <strong>Siouxland</strong> Local Eats-To-Go, with the goal<br />

of promoting the carryout options that these places were<br />

offering in an effort to keep them afloat. I had seen some<br />

restaurants begin to post here and there but thought it<br />

would be good to have a collective for these postings in<br />

one centralized place for easy access.
