Mobile Chowdown returns this weekend

This coming Saturday is the return of the popular foodie event, Mobile Chowdown, which gathers the city’s best “curbside cuisine” in one location.

The Chowdown will take place once again in Interbay at 1616 W Bertona from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The vendor list includes some of the originals, plus some new foods to try. They’re bringing back Marination Mobile, Dante’s Inferno Dogs, Gert’s BBQ and El Camion. New attendees are Veraci Pizza, Anita’s Crepes, Top Pot Doughnuts and Kaosamai Thai.

There was criticism after the first event in October about the event being unorganized. This time around we’re told that things will be better. “At this round the trucks will placed more strategically so that the lines will be more distinguishable between trucks. There will also be event staff that will keep things a bit more organized. Because the last event was the first time any of the vendors took part in an event like this, it was a learning experience for all. This time they will be more prepared with food, etc.,” says Jamie Hintz, Suzuki + Chou Communimedia, one of the event sponsors. There will be live music and a dining area (no word yet on the bathroom situation).
