The owners of AZN Eats want to let fans know that they are going into hibernation for 2 months and will reemerge in February 2013 (possibly with some new menu items).  Don’t panic! 🙂

 

Crêpes Parfait is coming soon to Washington, DC!  Their Facebook page has a nice write-up about the chef:

A graduate with honors from “L’academie De Cuisine” in Gaithersburg, MD, Chef Mounir went on honing his skills for more than 12 years in the restaurant industry, making his way up in the process to become Sous Chef and Executive Chef at some of the best restaurants in the DC area. Including amongst others “Tosca Ristorante” in Washington DC and “Amici Miei” in Potomac, MD both of which, while Chef Mounir was part of them, held their position for several years in a row as the best 100 restaurants in the metro area by the “Washingtonian” magazine.

Basil Thyme just announced that it’s 2nd truck, Pasta Thyme, is serving at Metro Center today.  The 2nd truck, as the name indicates, will focus more on hand made pastas, rather than the usual lasagnas that the Basil Thyme truck serves.

A new panini truck has arrived in the District, named Pinup Panini!  They have an Americana menu with the addition of breakfast being served all day.  Here is more info + pics.

Today is the first day that Curley’s Q is serving in Fairfax, VA!  They are at Greensboro and Solutions today (11/27).

Free Scoops

Dear Stream Cream Family & Friends:

Street Cream will be closing its doors for the season on November 30^th, 2012.  To celebrate our closure, we will be giving away free small servings to our first 25 customers at each of the following sites – Franklin, Union Station, Navy Yard, and L’Enfant.  Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Food Truck Fiesta during the week of November 26-30, 2012 to find out when we will be in your neck of the woods.

We look forward to serving you next season. Until then, stay cool and stay street!!

Wishing all of DC’s food truck fans a happy turkey day. 🙂  Even though it is a holiday week, there are plenty of food trucks serving!

Technically, Carnivore BBQ now has 4 trucks (3 food trucks and 1 Chevy pick-up).  The truck graphics keep getting better with each new truck they introduce!  Here is a sneak peek.  Also, head on over to their page and read their tweets from today to see how to get $1 off your meal today.

DC food truck fans at GWU have seen Village Cafe Express for a couple of weeks now, serving sandwiches and salads with a Greek flare.  The truck is the mobile version of a brick and mortar shop located in Centreville, VA.  Here are more details!

Just a friendly reminder that we all need to let the Mayor know that we don’t want the 10-foot unobstructed sidewalk rule in the proposed DC food truck regulations (a single tree-box on a block means that no food trucks can serve on that block).  Today is the last day to let your voice be heard (5pm deadline)!  More details can be found here.

3 food trucks opened their first brick and mortar locations this year and DC food trucks are now paying 10% sales tax.  We need the Mayor to step up and defend food trucks, not hinder their development.
