New York Street Food

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Bistro Truck, one of my favorite food trucks and a 2010 Vendy Award Finalist.

What sent me down to ‘Da Nest (as Yassir calls his spot on 5th ave & 16th St) was the tweet yesterday with the Daily Specials.  In this case it said “grilled steak with creamy mushroom sauce”.

That sounded like a good choice for lunch ($10).

Cake & Shake last year in Washington Square Park

If you read New York Street Food, you have probably heard about Cake & Shake, a cupcake and milkshake cart that had 2 carts, one in Washington Square Park and one outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  They closed the Wash Sq Park cart this year, but still have one outside the Met.

Now a new cart has appeared on West 53rd St & 6th Ave selling cupcakes and milkshakes under the name Cake vs. Shake, according to an article in DNAInfo.

“We have some imposters,” Derek Hunt, one of the owners of Cake & Shake told DNAInfo.  Hunt said he first realized something was off when he began receiving calls from customers asking if he’d moved.

Last week we told you about the free turkey burger giveaway from Bistro Truck and Jennie-O Turkey.  If you didn’t catch it then, Bistro Truck will be giving away at least 500 turkey burgers each day from today through Saturday, courtesy of Jennie-O.

Next week Bistro Truck is going to be the Jennie-O Turkey Burger Truck – and Yassir will be cooking up at least 500 turkey burgers per day to give away for FREE!

The Bistro Truck and Jennie-O Turkey Store are partnering to inspire people to switch to turkey burgers, which are both lean and delicious.  A different turkey burger will be cooked up and given away at the Bistro Truck each day from Tues thru Sat (7/26-30) at different locations.

Click through to find out where you can get free turkey burgers from Bistro Truck and Jennie-O.  Bistro Truck will not be in their usual locations most days during this promotion.

We’ve been hearing for a while now there’s going to be a new menu at Bistro Truck, the 2010 Vendy Award finalist.  Next Monday (5/16) is the big day – and there’s other news to report as well regarding some new neighborhoods for Bistro Truck.

If you follow Bistro Truck, you may have noticed that Yassir has been testing out some new items over the past few months.  We got a look at the new Bistro Truck menu and can happily report that Moroccan chicken pastillas and seafood pastillas top the menu.
