Jax Truckies Downtown Food Truck Rally This Weekend!

[fieldafm]

Monroes On The Go will be doing their full regular menu... BUT, they will also have two special items.

These duck confit quesadillas sound awesome!!  A friend of mine has also raved about their bread pudding from a catering job they did recently.

I'll be at the Food Fight at EverBank tonight, and the rally on Saturday. Should I feel wierd that I am doing all this eating to fight hunger?

Craig, I'll be there tonight as well... come say hi.  I apologize in advance if I dont shake your hand.. my hands will probably just be drenched in food spillage.

The Taste section in today's Times Union had a piece about the event this weekend.

Chris from Corner Taco will also be on First Coast News Saturday morning making some meals on air.

Uh, exactly where is this event taking place? I gather somewhere near Burrito Gallery, but can't tell for sure, and "downtown" is a rather large area.

[fieldafm]

The event will be held in the Burrito Gallery parking lot with the back patio of Burrito Gallery being opened up into the festival.

All literature relating to the event states it will be held at Burrito Gallery.  It will not be hard to spot all the people downtown.  That entire area is dead as a doornail on Saturdays.

Somebody on the facebook page complained about no parking downtown and he is getting lambasted by over 30 people at this point.  It's beautiful.  There is no excuse not to enjoy our downtown on a Saturday.

Field, saw the write up about you in Folio. Congratulations. This event and the other events that MJ'ers have been doing to make Downtown a Destination. You guys are economic development.

Mother Fletchers menu:
(the black and bleu and the wings both get my highest recommendation)




Corner Taco is also doing a special in addition to their regular menu:  Tuna ceviche with avocado, jalapeno and red grapefruit.

Couple of quick points:

*$1 admission benefits Second Harvest(cash only). Donations are also appreciated.  As little as $1 can provide 7 meals to those in need.  Every small donation goes a long way to ending hunger in our community. 

*Please understand that there will be some long lines at times and some trucks may sell out.  We appreciate your patience and we're sure it will be worth the wait!

*Burrito Gallery will be selling water, sodas and alcoholic beverages to all of our hungry(and thirsty) foodies.  We suggest you try a cold pint of Intuition available on tap at the BG bar.

*Most vendors accept credit cards, however Mother Fletchers and Sprockets are cash only

*Cash is encouraged.  There is an ATM available on site at Burrito Gallery.

*You are encouraged to bring your own chairs, good street food is meant to be enjoyed tailgate style!

*BG restrooms are for BG patrons only (so be sure to buy a drink, you know in the interest of rehydrating).

*Rain or shine

Hopefully, many attending will take this chance to support local downtown businesses as well, Chamblins, the shops at the Landing, etc.

Ok, of all the things I read, for the life of me I can't find where it says when the event starts.  I may be missing it completely, but I'd like to try to be there early to make sure to partake in a bunch of good food!

Thanks!
