  • Taco Bell is off to a great start in India, with thousands of customers visiting the chain’s first India outlet every day.  The location in Bangalore boasts a beef-free menu and a host of vegetarian offerings, including paneer and potato burritos.

  • They’re having a mobile mashup in L.A. (Sat April 3rd) where 4 food trucks will be making food based on the other trucks’ menus. [LAist] Interesting concept.  Imagine the Schnitzel & Things Truck making jerk chicken, the Biryani Cart making tacos or the Bistro Truck making dumplings.  Hmmm?
