One Giant Step for Truckkind
Posted by Christiane Lauterbach | August 3rd, 2010 | Filed under Carts, News
As reported in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Yumbii Korean-Mexican-Southern truck has both its permits (health and police), the first truck to succeed in that respect.
These pictures snapped on Spring Street at Tech Square show that our police force loves street food and enjoys it responsibly! Victory is near for all likeminded entrepreneurs!

Double Vision?

No, it isn’t an optical illusion or a feat of cloning…
If the King of Pops appears to be in two different places at the same time, it is because Steven Carse and his brother, equally tall, blonde, and good looking, are virtually indistinguishable from one another.
Yesterday, for example, while one of the brothers was in his usual spot at the Buddy gas station on Highland Avenue, the other was in front of the White Provisions Building on Howell Mill Road.
An article in the August issue of Atlanta magazine (the football issue) will show you the King of Pops in all his glory and you can refer to our vendor profile to determine whether you are buying from Steven or from his bro.
Pretty…but not nice

We dragged ourselves out of bed last weekend to see the Cooking Channel food mobile at the East Lake Farmers’ Market only to be rebuked by a staff uninterested in media relations!
We understand that they were just setting up and getting ready to offer complimentary tastes of locally made Jake’s ice cream with Jummy Jummy dessert toppings (the owners of both businesses were in attendance and in a friendly mood), but being shooed away from the truck by someone unimpressed with our credentials just about enraged us.
Look at the shots we managed to snap and be glad you weren’t there to get the bum’s rush!
Ice Cream Social and New Wheels
Posted by Christiane Lauterbach | July 12th, 2010 | Filed under Carts
Westside Creamery (see previous features here and here) goes fully mobile with a cute new truck the owners bought in Ohio.
Maggie Rentz and Greg Smith took their new wheels on the road to participate in an ice cream social held last weekend in front of The Mercantile on DeKalb Avenue in Candler Park.
Look at Maggie (fresh as a rose as usual) and check out her new flavors.
Keep your eyes peeled and your wallet ready…this is the summer of the ice cream truck!
