As the city begins its second week to recover after the devastation of the EF-1 tornado that ripped through the area the evening of April 25, Chipster’s Grill, a west-central Texas food truck, drove two hours to set up shop in front of City Hall to serve barbecue to the community Monday, May 4.
“We saw that they had some tornadoes here in the area,” said owner Chip Barker, who heard reports of the destruction from his home in Bangs. “We actually headed to Mineral Wells and folks at Mineral Wells pointed us in this direction. So, we made the connections and here we are.”
After arriving in Springtown, Barker parked his food truck outside City Hall and his team spent the day serving food to residents and volunteers involved in storm recovery efforts.
