Alright I have to confess as a former food truck owner/chef Hoboken Foodie is partial to street food!
There's just something about these commercial kitchens on wheels that makes my blood flow. Now Hoboken is in the middle of city council meetings discussing the future of food trucks in the mile square city and I hope they don't make it impossible for these mobile restaurants to operate. In my opinion the gripe that restauranteurs have that these trucks are taking business from them is hogwash! What's the difference if another restaurant opened across the street? Yeah Yeah now comes the B.S. that these food trucks don't have the expenses that "brick and mortar" joints have......more hogwash! Some of these mobile entrepreneurs have more. Most of these trucks cannot be leased as can most restaurants so the owners have to pay up front and some of these trucks are in excess of $100,000.00. That's right "A HUNDRED GRAND"! They are also burdened with a higher insurance nut every year. And another thing is that someone grabbing a taco off a truck wasn't teetering with the idea of sitting down at Augostinos.
Sorry I steered off topic........Mamma Marci!!!!
YUM freakin' YUM!!!!!
This is street food at it's best. The first time I ate off this rig was last year at the Hoboken Arts and Music Festival. The best lasagna I ever had!
Last night I come around the corner (Newark and Wash) and who's there? Right Mamma Marci!! How happy was I? Very!
Sweet and sour meatballs or as my daughter would describe them, candy meat. Oh so sweet! We also took home a bucket of penne with marinara sauce along with some meatballs. Oh and some of this chicken in a white wine sauce. Wow it was good, some capers, lemon and a cheese atop maybe a pecorino romano.
So in closing please support these mobile gourmet gurus!
And that's all I have to say about that! read more
