Welcome to Hub Food Trucks! I'm happy to bring you
all
the
latest
information on Boston food trucks and beyond. Use the Daily Schedules menu to find your food truck fix of the day.
Updates: Makin Jamaican is on a short hiatus, to upgrade their truck. With the upgrades, they hope to hit the streets of Boston. Woohoo! Woohoo number 2 is that Green Bean Coffee Machine will be coming back to the streets. I was a big fan of their breakfast sammies and coffee, really looking forward to hopefully having them around the Back Bay again. BonMe is getting back to full strength after a commissary fire and we all wish them well. The anti-woohoo is a short rant on trucks that are not using Twitter and Facebook to update their statuses, especially when they are not going to be at a spot, or late to a site. Anyone that has the attitude that, people will just come when we show up, is taking the easy and ultimately not successful way out. The trucks that best engage and update on social media will do better - they have more fans, generate more buzz. Want to talk about where you ate or other food truck news? The Hub Food Trucks Facebook page is the place to go. Love to have you drop by! Well it was sunny, but brisk day for this year's Food Truck Throwdown between 9 New York and Boston food trucks. on the Greenway. Thousands of people flocked to sample some of the best street food these cities had to offer. Roxy's Grilled Cheese won the People's Choice vote. Paris Creperie won the best use of sponsor Makers Mark in a dish, with their creme brulee. Nuchas and their basil and beef empanada won best NY dish. Pennypackers was the big winner, as their porchetta sandwich won best of Boston and best overall dish of the day. |

Just as another example of how food trucks can be an incubator small business, add Roxy's Grilled Cheese to those adding a B&M to their repetoire. The Boston Hospitality Industry blog says look for a Fall opening. And now comes word that Pennypackers will also add a B&M to their repetoire, in Somerville.
Brookline's Mobile Food Program kicks off a new schedule on May 1st, see the latest news here.
Food Truck Fest of NE has posted their 2013 schedule. Hopefully, there won't be events cancelled like last year's schedule. Admission is $7 plus handling fee in advance, $10 at the gate. There is also a $35 VIP experience. You can get all the info about the first event, June 8th in Kendall Square.
With so many new trucks and locations, I will do my best to keep the schedules as accurate as I can and have time for. I'll always keep my food truck Twitter list posted also, so you can get last minute info.
Many of the new and existing trucks use Craigslist to find employees, you can check out the listings on Craigslist to see whom.
I might add some info about Providence area food trucks. My Twitter list has over 20 trucks on it, you can subscribe to it here- twitter.com/StevenL57/pvd-trucks . My Boston list has 46 members in it and you can see it here- twitter.com/StevenL57/bostonfoodtrucks .
I'm a big fan of Level Up in Boston, many food trucks are using it. The last BFTA meeting was in their new offices, and they're very supportive of the trucks. Sign up for them at this link - TheLevelUp.com and use my referral code 24315 and we both get $5 credit. As I said, many trucks use it and there is usually an additional buck or two credit the first time you use it at a place. Sounds like a win! Food trucks are often looking for help, you can check out some listings on Craigslist to see whom. Have you missed any of NECN's Food Truck Fridays? Go back & check them out here. |
