Holiday Food Truck Round Up

Posted by Amanda Shulman on November 29th, 2012

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone and December is peeking around the corner, it is acceptable to start getting into the holiday spirit. Crank up the Michael Buble Christmas album, break out the strands of lights and pull out your favorite latke recipes. Along with these classic preparations, also head to the Piazza at Schmidts for the Holiday Food Truck Round Up.

This Saturday, December 1st, food trucks are gathering at the Piazza to kick of the holiday season, but not just the upcoming holidays. Rather, they are celebrating all the holidays, from Independence Day to Cinco de Mayo. Each truck will have their own holiday theme with dishes to match. The day will also mark the beginning of Philly Mobile Food Association’s month long partnership with Philabundance. The trucks will be collecting canned goods, so come ready to give and ready to eat.

It will be the perfect end to a day of shopping at the Northern Liberties Shopping Spree.

Pitruco Turning Out Some Quality Pizzas

Posted by Foobooz on October 27th, 2011

We didn’t know what a portmanteau was but we had figured out that Pitruco was a combination of pizza truck and company. We dig the name, which isn’t surprising since we came up with Foobooz. Adam Erace digs the pizzas because of the fanatical attention to detail pizza man Nathan Winkler-Rhoades applies.

Pitruco’s blistered, misshapen pies possess an honest sensibility that can only be described as staunchly Italian, in a very good way.

Pitruco splits time between Love Park and Drexel’s campus. Follow their Twitter feed for details.

Chinatown Night Market Recap

10th Street was closed from Arch to Vine for the Night Market.

Last night we took in the Chinatown Night Market. We snapped plenty of photos and took in just a few bites. Namely we tried the Khyber Pass Pub’s boudin sausage. The spicy meat and rice stuffed casing was delicious if a bit awkward to eat. We were enthusiastically encouraged to suck the contents of the casing out, “like it was gogurt.”

After that we tried the new pizza truck, Pitruco. The meats that topped the salume pizza crisped up perfectly and we look forward to trying it again at Love Park.

Before we left we made sure to check out one other spot that was premiering during the Night Market. Forward through to the last slide to see what we’re talking about.
