Here are some can’t miss things from now and for the weekend and a reminder on a few topics
MaMa Duke’s food trailer destroyed
Yesterday, MaMa Duke’s posted that their food trailer was destroyed and service suspended until further notice. The best details I heard is the owners were shaken up, but not seriously injured. The bad news, this all happened because of a drunk driver.
Street Foodie Diaries recorded their story back in Season 1 for their series. They have taken the reins to help produce a crowd funding site to help raise funds for their loss. One thing they are in need is perks for donor levels. These make raising funds easier. If you have things to donate, please contact Street Foodie Diaries.
