“ Do not walk, run to any event these guys do because GAHT DAMN is it good!!! These people really know what they're doing when it comes to integrating exquisite, robust flavors into such simple ideas. I got their tofu sando and spicy fries and when I say it was next level, I'm not joking. The flavors remind me so much of the fine dining but their approach is down to earth. Do not sleep on this, guy fieri is shaking in his boots trying to find this flavor town frfr. ”
“ Second Staff is a hidden gem in the Sonoma County area. Their food is creative, innovative, and affordable! I ordered their fried tofu sandwich (I'm not even vegetarian) and the flavors were out of this world. Execution, service, aesthetic, & attention to detail were all on point. I can't wait to see these guys in a brick and mortar someday. Check out their pop ups at Cooperage Brewing and other pop ups around Sonoma County! ”
“ I found out about Second Staff food truck/mobile pop up from Sonoma Magazine under an article for "Where to get late night fried chicken". Their specialty is Korean fried chicken served with sides of green apple cold slaw and hokkaido milk bread. Came here yesterday to Cooperage brewery where they were doing a pop up and met Sean. He was very nice and assisted me with my order. I went with the Goddess KBBQ, sweet, tangy with just a little bit of spice. It comes with 3 pieces of chicken, large bread and cold slaw. My fingers were sticky & orange but boy, was the food delicious! Looking forward to seeing more from Second Staff, more pop ups or eventually their own small restaurant. ”
