Food Truck Friday (On Sunday)

Lovely light, lovely subject, but I'll pass on the sliced jalapeños she is adding to the nachos with cheese. Why do people put things in their mouths that hurt? By Wednesday night we'll be in a place where almost anything meant to be put in your mouth is divine.

Food Truck Friday (On Saturday)

.

The food truck phenomenon is sweeping the US. I've heard it started in LA with an upscale taco stand on wheels. They are all over that city and New York these days. Sooner or later, all these trends find their way down here to fly-over country.

There are quite a few in St. Louis now. Food Truck Fridays started this summer in Tower Grove Park. I don't understand the schedule. Word of the date seems to spread by Twitter, which I want nothing to do with. My daughter tells me. She took me and my wife there for the first time last night. There were 12 or 15 of them lined up along the curb. Some yummy stuff but you have to get there early or the lines are impossible. When I first went to the beer queue at about 5:45 there were 3 people in front of me. When I checked back an hour later, there were perhaps 75 people. So don't drink more beer, take photos.
