Nonna’s Kitchennette and Seoul Sausage are going to be operating again today in the Old Port with film crews from the Great Food Truck Race. Details are still thin but it looks like they’ll be parking on Commercial in front of Ri-Ra.
Here’s a set of reports on last night’s initial appearance of the 2 trucks:
- Chubby Werewolf returned from a blogging hiatus to publish a thoroughly entertaining and detailed piece about the pop-up food truck event
- Edible Obsessions has posted a report from yesterday along with commentary on the offerings from both trucks
- Fellow food trucks Bite into Maine and Mainely Burgers have been tweeting non-stop
- WCSH has aired a segment which includes an interview with Nonna’s Kitchenette
- Maine a la Carte posted a report on the event with details on Nonna’s
Afternoon Update
Here’s a photo of the trucks out in front of Ri-Ra’s at about 1 pm on Sunday. Both had long lines and crews from the Food Network were filming for the TV show.
Evening Update
- The Press Herald has published a report on this weekend’s food truck happenings
- WCSH has aired another report on food trucks including interviews with the executive producer of the show and co-owners of Brunswick food truck Lola’s Taqueria. This segment later made it’s way onto the USA Today website.
The Seoul Sausage Co. didn’t have sausages! A darn shame but the burger was great as were the rice balls. The fries were petty standard, the kimchi infused meat on them was great but the goopy cheese like substance not so much.
I wish this event would encourage Portland to legalize food trucks, but sadly apparently our city government is in the pocket of DiMillo’s.
It’s not that I mind lobbying by special interests *that* much, it’s just that I hate the fact that the winning special interest is DiMillo’s.
