Just Rolled Out
Nana Queen's Puddin' and Wings, out and about for only the 12th time today, does a mean butterscotch banana pudding. I know; I ate it on Friday.
Canter's Deli hit the streets with its new food truck on March 19.
Chef Brian's Comfort Truck (whose wares I am sampling as I write this post!) marks its eighth day on the road today.
Cart for a Cause is a food truck helmed by a different celebrity chef each Tuesday. Each meal combo costs $10, and proceeds benefit St. Vincent Meals On Wheels. It took its maiden voyage on March 23 with Nobu Matsuhisa at the burners. It hasn't yet been announced who's on the truck tomorrow: check CFAC's Twitter and Facebook pages for news as it breaks.
I mistakenly thought The Greasy Wiener was the new Canter's truck, but it turns out the Wiener stands alone. It launched on March 13.
On The Way
There's a second Dim Sum Truck on the way in one to two months, this one featuring exotic dumpling fillings.
Papa's Tapas truck doesn't have a rollout date just yet, but keep an eye on its Twitter feed for more info. I'm hoping there's some bacalao on the menu.
Derb's Gourmet's last tweet was on Jan 1, and it still shows no signs of rolling out. I shot them a tweet to see what's up. I'll let you know what I find out.
Louks was going to have a second truck by now, but its original one crapped out, so now its new second truck has become its first and only truck. It's currently having another one custom-built, and will soon be a two-truck operation.

1. Is it really true that the second truck became the first truck because the first truck died? I guess I’m driving my first car, then! I feel so young and free!
2. “[T]he Wiener stands alone.” My new motto.
