Our friend Yassir is a busy man these days.  Not only is he putting the finishing touches on Rustic, his first restaurant, but he is also putting Bistro Truck back on the street starting today.

There’s good news and bad news on the Bistro Truck front.  Let’s start with the bad news first.

One of our favorite food trucks, Bistro Truck, is expanding with a new brick-and-mortar location on the Lower East Side.

Yesterday was the last day of the year for Bistro Truck, so I headed up to the Columbia Food Pod to get one last meal to hold me until 2012.  (Bistro Truck will be part of this week’s MasterCard free lunch giveaway on Thursday, but with a limited menu.)

I spoke with Yassir for a while yesterday about his plans, some of which I can tell you and some of which he asked me to keep confidential for now.

First, Yassir is going back to Morocco next week for a little while.  He will be looking for “inspiration” from the street vendors there, and will also be working on a couple of projects while in Morocco.  When Yassir returns, he will be fixing up the truck, revising the menu, and he has another surprise in store that I will tell you about when he is ready for it to be public.

After our conversation, I had chicken tajine for lunch ($10).

I’ve been to Bistro Truck plenty of times, but never tried their lamb burger.  A couple of months ago, in order to stand out a bit from other food trucks serving burgers, Yassir switched from a beef burger to a lamb burger.

Lamb is generally more expensive than beef, but Today’s Lunch of a lamb burger from Bistro Truck was only $7.
