We were happy to have the great people of Dim And Den Sum stop by to order stickers and flyers, but we would by lying if we didn’t admit we were even more happy about them staying in our parking lot for the afternoon! Dim and Den Sum is a gourmet, locally sourced food truck that roams the streets of Cleveland serving comfort food with an Asian twist. Hungry Jakprinters and Clevelanders flocked to the DADS Truck to partake in their amazing food: Pork sandwiches, tacos, tots, burgers and more… it was a good afternoon. Follow Dim And Den Sum on twitter to see where they will be each day.
