I am admittedly a Food Network nerd. I would probably choose to watch the Food Network over most channels. Due to my avid viewing I have picked up on up-and-coming trends in the food world. Two trends that are currently "hot" in the realm of food are cupcakes and food trucks.
Everyone is familiar with our old, familiar friend the cupcake. And food trucks are pretty self explanatory. They are like street vendors on wheels. And for whatever reason they are gaining popularity. Because they are on wheels, you have to track down a food truck. Most food trucks prefer to announce their location for the day via twitter.As I was out and about on Friday I saw a real-live food truck! It was exciting to finally see one, but they were selling lobster rolls for $15. Needless to say I did not stop for that food truck. However, I was inspired to embark on my own search for a food truck. I googled all of the food trucks in the DC area, followed them on twitter, and decided that on Saturday I was going to track one down.
Saturday came, I got on twitter and then headed out to find my food truck. In my mind the search was like a scavenger hunt. I LOVE scavenger hunts! I found a food truck that was stationed at a town in Virginia near a metro stop. Once I got to the metro stop it was almost too easy to find the truck. I suppose they don't want to hide from customers if they are trying to sell a product, but it took away from the challenge a little bit. Anyway, I found a food truck selling cupcakes! What did I tell you? Cupcakes and food trucks are "hot". This food truck knows how to make cupcakes!
Mission: Accomplished!
