Food Trucks

This blog is mentioned. Thanks Rachael.

Taco Truck Manhattan

This truck was somewhere near Lincoln Center in New York. The food looked good. I did not stop to ask any opinions or even see if there were any non-meat or non-bean options. As it was I almost lost my companions when I stopped to take this photograph. We stumbled upon El Idolo as we were leaving the Merkin Concert Hall where we had just heard Gabriel Kahane and Timothy Andres.

a suggestion to entrepreneurs

If the people of Idaho are anything like the people of California*, or more specifically, if the people of Boise are anything like the people of Los Angeles** this will be a big hit: A taqueria that offers delicious vegetarian options such as the Jamaica (hibiscus flower) taco. Full disclosure: not sure I could taste the flowers but just knowing they were there was comforting - and I liked the texture. The taco with the blue corn tortilla was a delicious potato taco.

*I know what you are thinking: in many cases the the people of Idaho are from California.

**I still know what you are thinking: in many cases the people of Boise are from Los Angeles.

3rd and 11th in Nampa. That's all I know about this truck.

Truck Thoughts

When I sing along to this composition or piece, if you will, I replace "Hut" and "Bell" with "Truck" and "Truck," respectively. "I'm at the pizza truck, I'm at the taco truck, I'm at the combination pizza truck and taco truck." Which leads me to my thesis: when will Boise branch out beyond the Mexican themed food truck? A pizza truck for example? I think I mentioned the wood fire pizza trucks in France a while ago. Good idea. I am willing to give out all my brilliant ideas since I have no entrepreneurial spirit (and I have a job).

• A handmade donut truck. The key word here is handmade. The other key word is donut. Both hard to resist.
• Anything vegan truck. Maybe Idaho is not ready for that (and vegans don't have money).
• Curry Truck?

I do know about the Salad Man and I have heard positive things about him. He is parked somewhere on State Street in Boise.

For the record, I am still a fan of taco trucks, but as many of you know, I stopped eating meat and I am allergic to beans. Those restrictions make eating at taco trucks difficult.

These thoughts were spurred by a discussion with a reporter (is that your title?) from the Boise Weekly earlier this afternoon. Thanks.

Pato Feliz on the corner of SE 32nd and Hawthorne

and if you do not like Pato Feliz try Neza on 33rd and Hawthorne. I tried neither because I have yet to give up giving up meat.
