It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and longer since I’ve provided an update on the Tucson food truck scene. Well, there’s lots to report about! A new truck on the scene is MaFooCo,
serving Mexican Asian fusion cuisine. The Tucson Weekly’s Food Truck Diaries has an entry about KBORK (possibly the second best Tucson food truck name after Planet of the Crepes), a Mexican truck that parks at Jacome Library Plaza on weekdays.
I’ve heard from Rich Park who is going to be launching Guero Loco BBQ (sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?), and a downtown landowner who is going to be developing an empty lot near Stone Avenue and 5th Street into a food truck court a la Portland.
The fall Tucson Weekly YUM issue features entries from Adam Borowitz’s Food Truck Diaries, including Planet of the Crepes. Incidentally, Planet of the Crepes owner Jessica Kraus will be one of the women chefs participating in Sizzling Women: The Women Chefs of Tucson on November 13th at Tucson Marriott University Park.
And finally, I am helping to produce Food Truck Roundup – a gathering of food trucks, trucks-to-be, and enthusiasts. The fun will be on Monday, November 14, 2011 from 5 – 9pm at Dinnerware Artspace, 119 E. Toole. If you are interested in participating, contact me at (520) 891-8098 or juliegraphics @ gmail.com.
