Last Saturday morning dawned misty and overcast, with the kind of persistent drizzle that one doesn’t often see in Albuquerque. After an incredibly dry March, I thought it was going to be a terrible, soggy day for the Great New Mexican Food Truck Festival. Of course, I should have known better. By noon, as we…
The New Mexico Food Truck Festival Is Coming!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about food trucks. I love them, but in Albuquerque it’s hard to keep track of them. (Oh, how I wish we had food-truck pods like Portland does!) For one day in April, however, we Burqueños will do food-truck pods one better. Instead of a parking lot, we’ll have…
Back from BlogHer Food!
I just had an adventure. I’ve been to conferences before: a couple in college, several related to my current day job. But none of them were anything like BlogHer Food. I’ll start with the people. They were almost all women, and most of them were very friendly. (I only met a couple of men, and…
Friday Food Truck Pod and Pod Schedule
It seems like not a day passes lately without interesting news from our Albuquerque food trucks. The proprietors are trying out all kinds of new things, making their presence known at festivals (The Seasonal Palate will be at this weekend’s Celtic Festival) and workplaces (Intel), hospitals (Lovelace Women’s, UNM Cancer Center), coffee shops (Michael Thomas)…
Exciting Changes in the ABQ Food Truck Scene
It’s a really exciting time for food-truck fans in the Duke City. New trucks join the fleet on what seems a weekly basis. One I’ve been desperate to try is The Scottish Pie Shop. Exactly what it sounds like, this pie shop on wheels sells a variety of meat pies, plus a few related items:…
Eating ABQ: Soo Bak Korean Food Truck
It was a bright, chilly Sunday afternoon on a vegetarian week. We were headed home, very hungry and eager for a quick vegetarian lunch. Too hungry, we thought, to manage a decision-making process, we drove to Nob Hill and parked on Tulane just down the block from Tractor Brewing, intending to hit up whatever place…
Eating ABQ: Food Truck Holiday Extravaganza at Talin
This afternoon Talin hosted a “Food Truck Holiday Extravaganza” in its parking lot. Though perhaps less than an “extravaganza,” it was about twice the size of Talin’s Wednesday lunch food-truck pod, and the offerings were great. Our first stop was The Seasonal Palate, which had promised fresh oysters for the extravaganza. Sure enough the menu…
Eating ABQ: Dia de los Takos @ Marble Brewery
Note: Dia de los Takos has moved to San Diego. They will be missed! On Wednesday Arne and I finally made it to Marble Brewery to try Dia de los Takos. I’d been excited to try this food truck since it was brought to my attention in a comment on my review for Supper Truck….
Save the ABQ Food Trucks!
If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I love food trucks. I’ve happily checked out carts in Portland, OR and NYC, and am positively gleeful about the recent boom in food trucks here in Albuquerque. (Check out my giddy review of Supper Truck if you doubt me.) Which is why I was dismayed…
