I wrote this post ages ago and kept forgetting to post it. Then, last week, I saw
this article on the Wall Street Journal online, and decided that I better post this before the truck trend completely fizzles out. So, without further ado, here is the post. Better late then never.
Yes, it's true. I'm obsessed with the
Dessert Truck. I know several other versions of these sugar carrying vehicles have popped up in NYC and other large cities lately, but I think the appropriately named Dessert Truck is my favorite. Maybe it's because one of the people behind the Dessert Truck is a former pastry sous chef at
Le Cirque, and that sounds fancy or maybe it's because the desserts they offer aren't typical truck fare (i.e. slow-baked apples and cinnamon [see pic above] and goat cheese cake). But, really, when you get right down to it, I think it has a lot to do with my childhood love of ice cream trucks. How could I resist?
If you too would like to relive your latent childhood fantasies involving magic trucks jam packed with yumminess, click
here to find out where and when the Dessert Truck will make it's next stop. Or, if simpler snacks are more your thing, check out the Treats Truck, right
here. (Food pics by

that is awesome! i totally saw an ice cream truck in my neighborhood the other day and it took me back. also made me wish i wasn't vegan for a second.
If I had one of these making the rounds of my neighborhood, I'd be 50 pounds heavier! What glorious temptation.
at the rate that trucks and stands are popping up around nyc, i don't think we have to worry about the trend fizzling out. i have to stop by dessert truck to see what they're doing now that the weather is warm, since the vary the menu seasonally. i love them.
mmm goat cheesecake. sign me up!
omgoodness...i'm dying over here. i wonder if they'll ever make it to the west coast. i'll be in trouble if they do. big trouble. ice cream trucks for grown-ups, how can you beat that?
That looks really yummy! I want that dessert truck!
