EatGR’s first Food Truck Rally of the Season is coming up on May 21 at the Downtown Market.

EatGR will be sponsoring a total of 6 food truck rallies this summer (3 at the Downtown Market and 3 at The Grilling Company) as part of our efforts to support our mobile food entrepreneurs until local ordinances change in a way that allow these trucks more freedom to operate on our streets.  Mayor Bliss is working on these changes which will hopefully be in place by the end of summer.

There are lots of new restaurants/events out there and several more opening soon that will need your support.  Make sure to get out there and support all of this new local goodness.

 

HAPPY EATING!
