GROVELAND, Fla. — Lake County residents are getting the chance to try new food during this coronavirus pandemic — in a safe way.

The city of Groveland's "Let's Eat Initiative" is bringing food trucks to the neighborhood.

Simply Divine Food Truck of Orlando came to Cherry Lake Park in Groveland to serve residents Sunday.

The city is partnering with a different food truck every day this week from Tuesday to Friday, they say to minimize crowds and give people the chance to try different cuisines.

Simply Divine Food Truck owner Edgar Cruz said this is his first time out since March 9, and he's grateful to be here.

"It means the world because this is my livelihood. I've been doing it for 7 years, catering for 25. This is what I know how to do," Cruz said.

Tammy Brackman was eager to grab some grub. She was the first customer Sunday night at the Simply Divine food truck. She's a healthcare worker whose been cooped up at home during the pandemic when not at work.

"I love going to the food truck rallies. And since we've all been quarantined for a while, I figured why not," Brackman said.

For Crruz, an Orlando-based food truck owner, it's been a tough past two months.

"We do a lot of call centers, and the call centers, everybody is working from home, so we can't do anything," Cruz said.

He's grateful to be out working again thanks to the initiative that's working to bring different food options to the community, with no large crowds, and customers can order food ahead.

"Up here at Cherry Lake, we have some residents that are in a 55+ community, so they're not really able to go downtown and get some food," City of Groveland Event Coordinator Sarah Vadnais said.

Cruz is looking forward with a positive attitude, doing what he loves serving up tropical-fusion food.

This event is going on until 7:30 Sunday night and will continue with different food trucks every night Tuesday through Friday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Cherry Lake Park.
