Today, (4/27/2011), police were out in the vicinity to George Washington University (GWU) and asking DC food trucks to move along if they didn’t have a line of customers formed in front of the truck. Two trucks, Sauca and Tasty Kabob, were affected just prior to lunch time. But, as lunch hour approached and lines started to form, the reports of police action ceased. Tasty Kabob returned to GWU shortly after being asked to leave and found some hungry customers. Later, other food trucks joined the lunch gathering at GWU without incident.

The word is that a local brick and mortar shop was the instigator of this latest food truck crack-down. And, the name dropped was not one of the usual suspects we’ve seen from Farragut Square and other incidents.

In the end, I am anxiously waiting for the DC gov to enact some reasonable food truck regulations so that we can bring some sanity to mobile vending in DC!
