New DC status symbol: $20 food truck sandwich

[Anonymous]

I didn't think the lobster roll was worth the $15...

And now you can love Executive Chef Andre Richard Ripert's new take on food trucks. It's a pupusa, but it's stuffed with quail or foie gras or kobe beef. The only thing left is a place where you don't get dessert until you eat your vegetables, but then the vegetables will be reimagined, too.

I ate at the Pepe truck today, although a merely got the $9 Serrano ham and cheese sandwich. Very tasty. Didn't see anyone order the $20 sammich.

I will okt pay more for food truck food than brick and mortar

Pepe's sandwiches are off the hook good.

Who would have thought food trucks, or cupcakes, would become trendy? Of course, they didn't think people would buy bottled water. Maybe some day sanitation worker fantasy camp will be the new status symbol.

Maybe we need a water truck! Bring your reusable huge container and select con gas or still. Get rid of the Plastic bottles!! Win a red hook lobster roll on your 10th refill!

If you don't like the food truck lobster roll, you should try Luke's Lobster at 7th and F NW. Now that's worth it... comes with a soda and chips too. I think it's like $17 ? They have crab rolls too, a bit cheaper. Yikes, I want one right now!!!

Except there's no Metro in McLean. But she doesn't care.

Stick a water sommelier on there, and you have a million dollar idea! I can't wait to see the flights...

There are water trucks, they just don't come around until after a really bad hurricane or other natural disaster. At least, that was my experience in Florida.

You know what this area is missing? Good Cuban food from a truck or portable trailer. I miss Miami!

Do they have those pay for water refills outside the grocery stores here?
