From a press release:
“Call Your Mother, Washington D.C.’s nationally renowned, locally grown “Jew-ish” deli, opens its first mobile kitchen, the Call Your Mother Trolley, Tuesday, July 14.
Also known as Honey, the original name of the antique streetcar, Call Your Mother’s bagel trolley is rolling into Bethesda, Maryland and parking next to Suburban Hospital at 8804 Old Georgetown Road. With social distancing in mind, guests can order bulk bagels and their favorite signature sandwiches ahead here or at the trolley. The full Call Your Mother menu will be available soon.
“It’s one of the old trollies that used to tour the city, but it’s no longer orange and green,” says Andrew Dana, Founder and Co-Owner of Call Your Mother. Instead, the trolley is outfitted in the brand’s emblematic pink and green meant to evoke “Boca-meets-Brooklyn” blending outstanding bagels and bright South Florida vibes. Some of South Florida’s well-known Jewish retirement homes are the inspiration behind the names of Call Your Mother’s quirky woodfire bagel sandwiches. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I wanted to see if you know how to find food trucks now? I don’t know if any are around but figured it’s a way to support local businesses.”
From Cracked Eggery:
“We are beyond pumped to launch this truck on NYE! Our 24hr store announcement is coming soon which will be our first location. Our customers have been begging us to sell more often so we felt it was the right time to launch a food truck even with the brick and mortar on the horizon. We will have a regular schedule for the truck of mornings as well as late nights coming soon. Instagram and Twitter will be the best source for truck updates @crackedeggery”
Check out the menu for tonight: (more…)
