ZOE MCDONALD [email protected]

Jake Sessums found a need, and with a little creativity and a shiny new food truck, he’s satisfying hungry citizens with what might be the most mobile food: tacos. After Sessums, a Brookhaven native and former Ole Miss stu- dent, decided to plant his roots in Oxford, he began to notice a few voids he couldn’t help but try to fill. “There’s a great little foodie industry in this town, but there are definitely some needs that aren’t being addressed,” Ses- sums said. “The whole food truck concept kind of came out of that.” After a trip to Missouri to purchase the truck, Sessums turned to his friends and family to help create the vivid piece of art it is today. Local artist and Bottletree baker Lauren Dyann created the logo and Sessums’ father, also an artist, created the truck design. Oxford hasn’t always been graced with the option of mo- bile restaurants. In fact, trucks cannot legally park on any giv- en street; they must be on com- mercial property. This drove Sessums to culti- PHOTO BY: DEJA SAMUEL vate mutual relationships with Jake Sessums drives his food truck around Oxford serving tacos. businesses around Oxford in- cluding End of All Music whose for people leaving church or pe- on your toes and work with it. trucks in from around the state. dients will be primarily locally employees can visit the truck rusing the sidewalks in search Murphy’s law is very alive and We’ve got some electrical plugs sourced, and a vegetarian taco for lunch and can see some of a quick brunch spot. real in the food industry.” so that trucks can come and will be added to the menu when of YoknapaTaco’s customers Sessums is no stranger to Most recently, Sessums had plug in over night.” the local ingredients are avail- thumbing through records.

Of the current flavors they’ve been working on (available on YoknapaTaco.com) Alonzo says her favorites are watermelon mint, Bottletree espresso, and strawberry basil lemonade. Sessums is adamant about adjusting the menu to the taste of the customers. “It’s not somebody coming in, creating the food, and stamping their name on it,” said Sessums. “It’s going to be a collaborative effort with the town, the com- munity and everybody that kind of gets involved with it.” When Sessums needs a trusty taste tester, he turns to his business partner and pet bull- dog, Phyllis Gordon. “She loves to give us feed- back on how good the dishes PHOTO BY: ROYCE SWAYZE PHOTO BY: ROYCE SWAYZE are, but she’s more of a behind ASB executive assistant Ariel Cheng informs Carter Andrews about freshman Andre’ Nichols, a senior civil engineering major, browses through a poster sale. the scenes kind of person,” council applications. said Sessums of his dog. “She doesn’t really help with day-to- day operations as much.” The food truck scene in Ox- ford is sparse, but has ample opportunity for growth. Afris- sippi, an African and Southern fusion food truck, has been successfully serving since the summer, though it’s not quite on the radar of the University crowd yet. With Sessums’ YoknapaTa- co and Afrissippi, the door has been opened for more alterna- tive methods of food service in Oxford. According to Alonzo, Yok- napaTaco is “just what Oxford needs.” YoknapaTaco will be open full time tomorrow. The truck can be tracked on social media for those who want to keep up with where and when it will be serving. Updates are available on Twitter at @Yoknapataco and Instagram at Yoknapata- co_Ox, as well as on Facebook.

Fans gathered at Gillom Center Tuesday morning to witness the Rebels take on McNeese State and watch head coach Steven McRob- erts earn his 500th career win. After winning the Magnolia In- vitational over the weekend, the Rebels came into the match with a 3-0 record, one similar to the un- defeated start of last season. The Rebels were off to a great start, gaining a quick lead in set one. After maintaining the lead throughout the set, the Rebels would take set one 25-18. Set two seemed to be more of a challenge as they quickly fell behind Mc- Neese State. After five straight points, the Rebels were back in the game, narrowing the deficit to 15-12.
