Happy Friday! You got through the short week, so here’s a bit of food truck trivia from Sauca to kick off your weekend.
Question: What profession did the Ambassador of SAUCA do prior to getting into the food truck business?
Answer: Investment Banking. During his career he lived in Latin America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East where he was influenced by the foods of the international street venders and thus, SAUCA was born.

Thanks to the people who submitted some more food truck photos–much appreciated! If you have work today, hopefully you aren’t feeling like there are “bombs bursting” in your head. Benjamin Franklin may have said, “Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy,” but unlike our Founding Fathers, you’re lucky enough to have food trucks to help ease your holiday hangover.

Today you’re getting multiple food truck trivia tidbits from Pleasant Pops. First off, the owners of the truck, Brian and Roger met in college freshman year at UNC all because they were both on the rowing team. The pair came up with the name for their truck because they started in Mt. Pleasant.
And, in case you were wondering about how they make their pops, they try to use fresh fruit from local farmers markets whenever possible and use locally sourced, organic milk from Trickling Springs Creamery in PA.
Cool down with one of their pops today and check out where the other trucks are rollin’.

This week’s FTT theme is going to be food truck trivia.
Today’s trivia tidbit comes from LobsterTruckDC: the most frequently asked question they get is “What’s the difference between a Maine roll and a Connecticut roll?” And they usually shout out the answer from one of their truck’s PA systems.
I could tell you the answer, but I’d suggest heading over for a roll and finding out for yourself.

Lunchtime has rolled around. And you forgot to pack something. You’re peeved, and a crummy bag of chips from the vending machine just won’t do. But as you sit at your desk you remember the food trucks! And you proclaim: “As God as my witness, I’ll never go hungry again!” before triumphantly dashing to one of the trucks nearby.
Thus concludes the week of movie-themed Food Truck Trackers. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Every day we, along with the strEATS DC, bring you the Food Truck Tracker. And everyday all of you fine readers add more pictures to our awesome We Love DC flickr photo pool so that we can continue to bring you snazzy, cool content.
Now this is somewhat of a personal plea, but my eyes (and I’m sure yours as well) grow tired of seeing the same pictures time and time again. So, my roving eaters, I’m asking you all to take a minute the next time you dine at a food truck, snap a picture and submit it to our flickr pool. Be it a picture of the truck, the long lines, the food–anything food truck related–we want to see it. Make sure you tag it with the label “food truck” when you add it to the pool. You’ll get credited and all the world will see your food truckeriffic photography, and you’ll give my eyes (and everyone else’s) something new to feast on.
