We really love Catalyst Hot Dogs! A guy from Jersey makes the best Chicago Dogs in this area! Their…read morefood trucks don't often make it deep into Howard County, so we watch their weekly schedule on social media. This time, (Apr 2026), the "big" one of their two food trucks was among the dozen vendors invited to Food Truck Friday at the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department. This larger Catalyst truck serves their full menu: dogs, smash burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, soft drinks, and more snacks, sides, and sweets. Their menu has ten dressed dogs, vegan dogs, and fourteen toppings for build-it-yourself requests. There are combos that save you a few dollars. Ok, usually, they have those soft beverages, but for this event, the VFD is the sole beverage-seller, at good prices, as a bit of a fundraiser. Of course, we get Catalyst's Chicago dog! Tyler always has poppyseed buns he makes from fresh-baked rolls! They make a perfect mix of toppings with genuine short bitey sport peppers, bright tangy relish and a pickle wedge, fresh dense juicy tomato chunks, bright chopped white onions, good old yellow mustard. Every bite is a delight. Find a Catalyst Hot Dog truck. Get one of the best dogs in the area! For those who wont get to Chi-town any time soon, dive into this Chicago dog. It's authentic! And while that's our go-to, we admit we're coming back to try other vendors at Food Truck Fridays at the Elkridge Volunteer Fire Department! But most of all, we're looking forward to Catalyst Hot Dog's brick-and-mortar opening in Burtonsville in the fall of 2026! Oh, and a pro tip: If the listed hot-dog event is at a smaller venue, call that venue ahead of time. Sometimes the events cancel or change dates without enough notice for Catalyst to post about it. Please don't ask how i learned this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've been stalking catalyst Hot dogs since being introduced to them at a Yelp event…read more Today I checked their story on IG & learned they were going to be in Crofton & decided to pull up! Ordered my fav vegan dog with cheese (i know! lol) & a vegan Chicago dog. I was only able to eat one lol Service is always awesome. Definitely check them out! They have plenty of options on the menu from a variety of hot dogs to nuggets, burgers, fries etc. Congratulations on the upcoming store front in Burtonsville. Whooooo-hoooooooo!!! Happy Yelping!

From Scratch is a food truck serving Serbian/Balkan food made from scratch by the Serbian chef. My favorite is Cevapi. It is a sandwich with four links of beef/pork meat sausages, Serbian cream cheese, special tomato sauce, red onion, cabbage, grilled red bell peppers (if you request 'everything'), in a home made Balkan bread. It is $11+tax but it is worth the money. I enjoy every bite of it. It comes with a small bag of potato chips. From Scratch usually comes to Tyson's on Mondays to operate from 11am to 2pm, but you might want to check their website before you head out just in case.

I think the carne asada is expensive for the amount of meat you actually get. The pupusas are not great a the tomato sauce it comes with was pretty watery. The cuban sandwich was okay but the pickle overpowered the meat, I think there was more pickles than brisket. Even though they have big menu signs none of them display the prices. I don't think I would go back.

You have the option of getting a meal with 2 sides, a bowl that comes with almost all sides (rice, beans, farofa, potato salad, vinaigrette salad), and if you so prefer, the meat alone (6oz or 8oz) They do have an extensive menu but it's still very simplified at the same time and I WILL be trying more as I come visit more often. Give this a shot if you love BBQ Meats. Parking is around the area where the truck itself is parked and alongside the area.

We stopped by to try out their burger and hot dog - you can customize to whatever your heart desires, and Chef Michael confirms with you afterwards! The food is fresh and made-to-order: the burger was super juicy, and all the toppings were generous and super yummy! It had a wonderful grilled taste! The hot dog was so delicious! That sausage was so flavorful and super addicting! The hubs stated it has been a while since he had a great hot dog! Portions are generous and very filling! Chef Michael is super kind, super friendly, and really puts love in all his food! There is a wait, as everything is made-to-order, but a little bit of wait time is so worth it - all your items is exactly as you've requested, and the flavors, really, are 'beyond'! As a plus, good music is playing in which you can jam to, while you wait for your order. Check this hidden gem out - you won't be disappointed! I'd love to check out their pizza, their tacos, and the rest of their menu items on the next visit!

Giving this place a 1 star Unsanitary, I do not recommend!…read more I ordered food and the person had on dirty latex gloves with the pinky finger exposed on one hand. I thought hmm maybe he's just cashing out people and not the cook and if he is he's assisting surely he'll change his gloves... NOPE! Same ditty gloves used to process payments is the same he was using to cook food. I stood by the window to make sure. At first he used the utensils to separate the kabobs and hold the stick. Then he used said glove to pull apart the steak. After that he removed his gloves and rang up some more people and did not use gloves to return to the food. After that, I just walked off. This food truck soldier why I don't venture to many food trucks. Always check out the operations before ordering.
