Deal – ‘Pico de Gap’ Taco Truck (exp 9/30)

Posted on by

Thx to GrubStreet for this…

Could there be any better way to celebrate the launch of a denim collection than with tacos? Uh, yeah. Clearly not, which must be why Gap is the latest corporation with a food truck, the groan-worthily named “Pico de Gap,” which just rolled into town (see Twitter for locations). The Katie Lee–designed tacos go for just $1.69 for two, with a drink, (they’re free for anyone with a same-day Gap receipt), and also come with a $20 off coupon for the 1969 denim collection. At those prices, there’s definitely time to gain a few pounds before the coach departs NYC September 30, necessitating new jeans. Gap, we’re on to your insidious plan. The truck will also rove San Francisco, Chicago and L.A.; see Facebook for locations.

Get updates @FritesNmeats regarding their whereabouts on Monday. Per their blog…

We wanted to do something for our fans but were just pondering the venue and timing…..
As for the venue, we think it should be the place that we enjoyed most….the good old streets of NYC!!!!
More particularly, the places we served everyone…Midtown, FiDi, SoHo, TriBeCa (exact locations to be tweeted).
We did not forget about uptown, we will get you guys when school is in session :)

Although the forecast says 30% chance of rain on Monday, there will be a 100% chance of Free Frites…this is the least we can do for you guys.

Our Monday Mission is to reach the above destinations (find parking) and give 100+ Free Frites at every location.

BTW….some of you might see us this weekend in the city (can’t tell you where ;) …but the Free Frites will be for Monday.

See you guys Monday…until then, Have a Great Weekend :)

Free Turkey Burgers from Bistro Truck and Jennie-O JUL26-30 (updated)

L: The crew, R: Brooklyn-Style Turkey Burger (Thurs)

RECAP: Lines up the wazoo, as expected. We were at 312/500 free burgers in the queue at 12:20pm. Roughly a 20min wait amounted to…? We’re going to tell it like it is: the burger was straight up bland. I tasted no cumin or oregano in the burger AT ALL. The potato bun, while soft and chewy, was way bigger than the patty and totally overshadowed the star of the show, the turkey. We enjoyed the cool wraparound wrapper though. Free tees (all sz L) were handed out to those who posed with a turkey burger, with a release form signature so they could post pics up on their site. If you are not swayed by our feedback, feel free to check it out for yourself, as there are 2 days remaining to claim your free burgers! PICS HERE

Thursday, July 28 – Old Slip Street and Water FIDI -  The Brooklyn-Style Turkey Burger – A turkey burger sprinkled with oregano, cumin and chili powder, cooked, and fried red onions and cheddar cheese are added.

Event – NY Truckcrawl JUL20 – we’ll be there (updated)

L: Wall Street Burgers Truck, R: Wall Street Burgers slider w/ curly fries

RECAP: DishcrawlNY presented their first TruckCrawl, starting off at USQ West & 17st. Green Dishcrawl pins (below) were handed out to identify those with the group.  Regularly $26, a special free code was given to Elite Yelpers in hopes of gaining exposure on this new venture. There were roughly 20 with the group, but none looked like the paying kind. Th

The first pit stop was the Wall Street Burgers Truck (above). The owner told us he quit his Wall Street job to start this truck with his wife, thus the name. Slider portions were handed out to us with curly fries. They claim to use grass fed angus, but we felt the burger was overdone. We like the concept of empowering ‘foodies’ with what’s considered good vs paid critics doing so. However, we disliked the constant filming of ‘DishCrawl TV’ without prior notice/waivers given.
