Mobile chowdown on Saturday

Food on wheels is the hot trend around town these days. We’ve written about several wagons serving food in Ballard, such as Parfait and Maximus Minimus (shown here on Ballard Ave.)

This Saturday is the Mobile Chowdown 2009 in Interbay (1616 West Bertona.) Marination Mobile, Maximus Minimus, El Camion, Gert’s BBQ, Skillet, Parfait Ice Cream, Kaosamai Thai and Dante’s Inferno Dogs will be “circling the wagons” for a one-day food extravaganza. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. so bring your appetite. Check out their Twitter feed for daily trivia. (Disclosure: Dante’s is a sponsor of MyBallard.)
