Illinois Only Funnel Cake Food Truck Comes To Plainfield Aug. 6 - Plainfield, IL Patch

PLAINFIELD, IL — Village residents can satiate their sweet tooth with a very unique food truck on Thursday. My Funnel will be selling some of its most scrumptious treats from 5-8 p.m. in the Wesmere neighborhood.

Christine Stancliff, owner of the food truck, said they were asked by the Homeowner Association to visit Plainfield. This is their first time here, and she is "very excited" to be serving her hot funnel cakes.

"We will carry your favorite fair foods -funnel cakes, deep-fried Oreos, ice cream, and fresh squeezed lemonades," she said.

Guests can also enjoy one of their most popular items — the Maple Bacon Funnel Cake which comes with a cake covered in maple frosting, fried bacon and whipped cream. Stancliff said the customers have to abide by the CDC recommendations and wear masks when ordering.

They also need to socially distance, and she said they have a cone system in place to help with that. Each person will be required to stand by a cone which is 6 feet away from the next one.

"At most of our stops this summer, crowds have been amazing about keep the distance and wearing masks," she said.

Stancliff said they are the only funnel cake food truck in Illinois. She had been selling cakes for almost a decade before starting the truck in 2018, to ensure more people could see "how good our funnel cakes are."

She said navigating the coronavirus pandemic has been "very challenging," as most of the big events they usually went to got canceled.

"But we are still able to go out and help smaller crowds and see those smiling faces when they get their funnel cakes," Stancliff said.
