Ah food trucks. I don’t think I need to express my complete and utter glee at the fact that Boston has embraced this trend and is offering its residents a wide range of food truck options on a daily basis.
The only problem is, maybe you can never get to Government Center to try the Taco Truck, or to Prudential to try Go Fish. Well pay attention my roach coach challenged friends, because the Boston Foodtruck Festival is here to sooth your lunch location woes. That’s right, you can try ALL of the food trucks in one place, in one afternoon.
And better yet, I am giving away a pair of tickets to the event on June 10, 2012 at the UMass Boston Campus Center. Keep Reading after the press release about the event to find out how to enter….
