Have You Seen This Sundae on Wheels?

Patch.com finds out more about Colonial Cafe's Kitchen Sink truck.

Tomas Morales is the driver of the Colonial Café’s Kitchen Sink truck that can be seen on the roads from Naperville to St. Charles to Algonquin and Crystal Lake everyday.

Morales is one of three drivers behind the wheel of the new moving billboard.

Colonial Café commissioned the 600-pound fiberglass sculpture that looks like its signature Kitchen Sink dessert, which includes six scoops of ice cream, strawberries, banana and other goodies. The dessert is served in an actual kitchen sink, thus the name.

“Everybody wants to take a picture,” Morales said, of the reaction he gets as his drives along the roads and stops at malls up and down Randall Road and the region.

The kitchen sink sculpture is attached to a platform secured on a white pick-up truck with decals on it, including the words “Follow me to Colonial Café.”
