Food Trucks!

As promised this blog post is dedicated to the new phenomenon of DC FOOD TRUCKS!  In case you are unaware of the food truck craze, they are illegal in some cities (like Chicago), here is the link to the Wikipedia article.

Food trucks gained major popularity in DC sometime last fall.  The first truck I remember seeing/hearing about was SweetGreen.  But now it is a craze!!

You can get Cuban, Spanish, Canadian (my favorite), Indian, cupcakes, pies, macaroni, and even lobster!!  Almost everyday there is at least one food truck on campus around lunch time.  They just park, prepare and serve!  What is even cooler is that most of them take credit cards! So if you are low or out of cash you can still go to a food truck!

Now the question is how do you know who is where in the city?  Well, all of the trucks constantly update their twitters with their newest location.  But if you are looking to see all of the locations at once there is a site for that too, thestreats.com.  The StrEATS keeps track of all of the twitter updates and shows a map of who is where.

My favorite truck is Eat Wonky.  They serve a Canadian delicecy of poutine, and while I don't like gravy (it's a texture thing) they also serve up their squeaky cheese in one of the best grilled cheese I have ever had!

Hope you enjoyed this delectable entry! And remember if you are coming to campus be sure to hit up one of the many food trucks in the area!

Until next time,
