Truck Yourself: How to Find Your Lunch

The problem with food trucks is that they’re so… mobile. And sometimes your stomach doesn’t want to wait for you to slog through pages of Twitter, only to find out Kogi’s heading to Santa Clarity. 

So, we’d like to present the most important culinary invention since… the food truck. Introducing the RoadStoves GPS app, now available.

Basically, this long-overdue device doesn’t rely on (or wait for) Twitter updates from driver-chefs as they careen down Wilshire in a haze of burger smoke.

All you have to do is pull up the app, then select “Near Me,” and you’ll see the list of trucks within a few miles of you, in real time—thanks to the magic of, yes, GPS, which pulls location info from participating trucks every couple of minutes, whether or not there’s been any tweeting. Select the nearby truck that strikes your fancy, and you can easily grab driving directions, the menu and, if you want, their Twitter feed.

A couple caveats. The thing just launched, and it’s only got RoadStoves trucks—Kogi, Baby’s Badass Burgers, the Grilled Cheese Truck—for now, 21 total. But you can expect that number to rise very quickly.

Chasing the Grilled Cheese Truck – by Faye Levy

Outside of chasing the ice-cream truck, which I loved as much as any child, I never imagined following any food truck. I considered them to be providers of ordinary sandwiches when you couldn’t bring lunch to work. In Los Angeles I always ignored the ubiquitous taco trucks that serve hot Mexican flatbread sandwiches. That is why I was baffled when a foodie friend told me she waited on line for an hour to get a grilled cheese sandwich from a truck, to eat standing up!  Read the full article HERE

Kudos to the Grilled Cheese Truck for its successful launch. CBS shows viewers what the GCT is all about (although CBS doesn’t provide an embed code so here’s the link). http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=119149@kcbs.dayport.com

It is with great pleasure and pride that we introduce the following new trucks:

Grilled Cheese Truck Ready to Roll

It seems so obvious, it’s hard to believe no one thought of it sooner. Of course Los Angeles needs a grilled cheese truck. Thanks to Dave Danhi, it’s about to get one.

Capitalizing on the success of two hot food trends — nouveau food trucks and gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches– Danhi plans to launch the Grilled Cheese Truck in early October, provided the permitting and inspection process runs smoothly. Source
