Matt Maroni's gaztro-wagon
We have told you recently about some great Chicago street food trucks – Troy Marcus Johnson’s All Fired Up and Flirty Cupcakes.
Now Matt Maroni has unveiled his gourmet food truck concept. It’s called gaztro-wagon, with a storefront at 5973 N Clark St – and he has a food truck to go with it. His menu features naan-wiches, sandwiches served on Indian naan bread. In New York, there used to be a small storefront on Bleecker St called Naanwich that we loved, but alas, it’s no longer there.
Here are some naan-wiches from his menu. They look amazing!

[Time Out Chicago]
Snap, a new mobile food business launched by husband and wife team Zeph and Liz Courtney, is appearing at pop-up events this summer while they work out permit issues with their truck.
