We'll go anywhere we can find a parking space and where there's a good concentration of people.

While I agree with you sentiment about not many places to eat in the area, I think the problem is that there are to a lot of businesses in the area to provide customers. Also those that are in the area are fairly disbursed instead of concentrated in one area so it would be difficult to get a large number of customers.

You mean the French Indo-Canada Food Truck? I gave to that Kickstarter. Or is there another?

Vietnamese and Indian? I like it in principle, but that's not a fusion you hear of much.

They will be launching their publicity soon. Don't want to steal their thunder. Stay alert!

You know, I'm guessing that they would probably much rather HAVE a little extra exposure than not, but that's just me ...

My original comment was going to be this: There isn't too much of a good thing until I see one in New Albany ... but then I mustered the patience to read and saw the reference to Holy Smokes in Indiana. At the FB page, I saw several references to Jeffersonville, so now my comment is this: "There isn't too much of a good thing until I see one in New Albany."

True, but just see what happens if I take it out for a ride and set up shop on a street corner. You think YOU'RE regulated. They'd probably send in the National Guard.

Heard some rumors...

Two new taco trucks, two more BBQ trucks, a Jamaican truck, another dessert truck, and an Australian meat pie truck (?). Too much of a good thing? We will certainly find out! :)

Cheers!

When this thread started I didn't think we had too many because of all the variety but now it seems like things are getting really crowded! I guess we'll see who's really in the business to stay into is playing pretty soon.!
