I walked out of my office building on Hudson street today like I always do, and without fail i’m usually met by the smell of one of the variety of food trucks that line the streets between King and Houston each day. Today was different. Rocco Dispirito who’s book Now EAT This, I’ve written about a few months ago, was in his Now EAT This truck taking orders, taking photos, and watching fans rush up to order a Turkey Enchilada or Mama’s Meatballs. I was one of these fans and spoke to him quickly.. I cued up my blog on my iPhone, and showed him with pride the 2 recipes of his I’d created. He was very impressed with the coloring of the red pepper sauce I made to complement his low-calorie, low-fat crab cakes.. he even recognized the recipes. For $10 I got a turkey enchilada and Chicken Noodle soup. Because I was a fan, Rocco threw in a cupcake. From what I understand, the profits from Rocco’s food truck go directly to educating kids on the healthy benefits of eating well and providing meals for those who need them.
