Councilors Mike Ross and Sal Lamattina propose up to 25 new licenses for food trucks to roam the city, bringing fresh, hot, inexpensive meals to the masses.
Food trucks
The SoWa Open Market announces they'll have food trucks at their 460 Harrison Ave. location every Sunday through October, starting this weekend:
Fillbelly's, Trolley Dogs, Boston Frosty, Pizza Barbone, Concept Carts and more are signing up.
Via the Phoenix.
The city wants to turn City Hall Plaza into a mobile food court - it's requesting formal proposals from owners of food trucks who want to set up shop on the brick expanse:
The City of Boston seeks creative mobile food vending proposals for a multi-round selection process. Selected winners will receive technical assistance, permitting guidance, and assistance applying for low-interest loans from the City of Boston, in order to begin mobile food vending operations on City Hall Plaza by Spring 2011. The focus for selection will be to promote health, community, and sustainability.

The City Council today will consider whether to license the latest culinary craze to hit Boston: Food trucks.
City Council President Mike Ross has filed a measure seeking a hearing on how to regulate the trucks, which are just now beginning to spread beyond their traditional base at MIT.
If you're getting hungry, mark Aug. 8 on your calendar for the Food Truck Festival in the South End.
Via Grub Street Boston.
Fun and Fearless in Beantown gives a thumb's up to the Clover food truck at Dewey Square:
... Clover Food Truck is obviously a big hit with vegetarians and vegans alike (they can make most orders vegan friendly) but as a meat eater, I was also duly impressed. The sandwich was really filling and hit the spot. ...
At least, that's what's promised by Fillbelly's. Has anybody seen this food truck yet? Their Twitter feed is a bit barren. They claim Roslindale and Hyde Park as part of their route.
