BBQ Meals on Wheels

I've had a deep appreciation for taco trucks for a few years now. My local, beloved truck was, in fact, written up in the NY Times in 2007 and has even won some awards.

But I recently read about the Koji BBQ trucks out in L.A., and I am psyched to give them a try this weekend. I'll be staying in Venice for a few days, not far from where they often stop at night.

They've apparently taken the concept to a new level from the quality and preparation of the food, to actually Twittering their location. (Finally, a good reason to Twitter!)

I think the gourmet "taco" truck has huge potential in cities all over the U.S., not just New York and L.A. We'll see if it catches on. As a fan of cheap-but-good food, I hope it does.

To find out more about Koji click here for their site. Or find them on Twitter... if that's your jam.

The Recession...

This thing is real. REAL. Too many people I know are out of work.

But on a lighter note, how about some "recession specials"? And I am not just talking about Gray's Papaya.

Eater NY has a thing called DealFeed. I'd like to take advantage of some of these.
Or how bout some clothing sales?

But I have a few recession friendly standbys. Like my Taco Truck.

Or my favorite Indian place, Desi Deli. (Disclaimer on their website. The pictures have nothing to do with the restaurant. Hilarious.) Their Chai Tea is legit. With the Cardamom seed and everything. It's just me and the cabbies. Love it.
