The Stick It Truck recently rebranded as Third Coast Steak Sandwiches after leaving behind its original concept of serving gourmet food on a stick. Putting a twist on traditional sandwich recipes, the new menu features items such as the Bruised Peach, a steak sandwich with peach chutney, caramelized onions, blue cheese, and Thai basil. Build-your-own options are also available.
