Boston vs. NYC Food Truck Battle To be Held on Saturday
The Oct. 13 battle will pit seven food trucks from Boston against ones from New York City.
If you love food and you hate New York, you're going to want to head downtown this weekend for the first ever Boston vs. New York City Food Truck Throwdown.
The daylong competition pits seven food trucks from Boston against seven food trucks from New York City as contestants vie for the title of Best Food Truck. The idea for the event came from Sara Ross, owner of Kickass Cupcakes, and is supported from the city of Boston, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, and the Boston food truck community.
In addition to the food, of course, there will be live music and celebrity judges. Admission to the event is free but sampling any of the food will cost you.
