Well, this isn’t about a food truck, but it does highlight an interesting, food truck-related point. As the Washington Examiner details, vending trucks in the District can not be longer than 18 feet, 5 inches. But, in other municipalities, vending trucks can be much longer. The DC Lottery truck will still be able to vend on […]
I’ve confirmed that both the Austin Grill and Cafe Vida Express food trucks have retired. Austin Grill directly confirmed that the truck has been re-tasked and will no longer be serving directly to consumers.

The report also makes some conclusions, such as the following: Instead of […]
Evidently, MPD is training officers on how to inspect food trucks today in Franklin Park. I think that’s ok, but why did they pick the busiest time of the day to shutdown trucks for inspections (especially since this isn’t an emergency)? Last I heard, brick and mortar restaurants aren’t forced to shut down in the […]
A food truck will be at Eastern Market tomorrow serving up free food! Here are the details: “Macy’s Chefs A-Go-Go,” a national food truck tour showcasing the Macy’s Culinary Council is rolling into Washington D.C. on July 29th at Eastern Market!
