MoCo Food Trucks Park It, Online

A collection of food trucks in Montgomery County organized a collective website, www.mocofoodtrucks.com.

The grown-up lunch line nowadays is just as likely to be outside, on the corner of a busy intersection, as it is inside of a strip mall restaurant. It's been that way for years now, and while residents and workers in places crowded with food trucks may enjoy the variety and speed of mobile food offerings, keeping up with what's available and when can be a challenge.  A new website, www.mocofoodtrucks.com, organizes about a dozen food trucks within the county and includes a comprehensive calendar of when some of the trucks will be in which area.  Here's how the organizers describe the site: "This site will tell you the three "Ws" of food trucks: Where we are, Who we are and What we serve. Our trucks operate throughout Montgomery County, MD …

Poor Joe... LOL... you are obviously either a restaurant owner who is fed up w/ food trucks taking your business, or you're just clueless. The food trucks have to go through the exact same rigorous health inspections and permits as any restaurant. They also need to have their food service handlers license, and, they have to either have an approved restaurant to prepare their food, or an approved …   more ›

Brown Bag's New Food Truck Debuts in Bethesda

Have you checked out the new mobile lunch option?
