Allergy Info:
Eddie’s Trucks USED to have gluten free crust, but due to a low demand, they don’t usually carry them anymore. If you are gluten free and think Eddie should carry the gluten free crust, tweet at him @EddiesPizzaNY and tell him @foodergie said so! :-p I'm sure he won't mind!

Travel Thursday - BBQ all year round?

So you want to have a hamburger or hotdog, but it’s either pouring or negative degrees out, or any undesirable weather issue that prevents you from firing up that grill! Well, travel out to Paramus, NJ and head over to the Fireplace! They have the best hot dogs, hamburgers in the tri-state area! They make fast food fresh and delicious so you can forget McDonalds or Burger King, and eat some REAL fast food.

The Fireplace has an amazing reputation in northern NJ. They have been around over 53 years! I’m not even kidding you, my parents and their parents have been going to the fireplace forever! Not only do they have these BBQ delights, they have turkey burgers, veggie burgers and chicken patty’s for all different allergy and food preference variations.

Cake Heaven!

If you like savory, delicious, melt in your mouth cupcakes and cakes, then you should order your next birthday cake or cupcakes from the Buttercup Bakeshop. I have not tried all the flavors (I really wish I had!), but I do know that the Bakeshop was very accomdoating with my peanut allergy (when I had one). Normally, peanut allergies prohibit the ordering of cakes and cup cakes from normal bakeries, but when I called the Buttercup Bake Shop they promised me that the batter I had chosen had no almond flavoring or nuts of any kind and that any nuts or peanut butter frosting would be kept entirely away from my cake.

What’s even more exciting is that this place delivers anywhere in Manhattan for a small delivery fee. So order your mom’s next birthday cake here (yes, that’s what I did), and I promise it will go over great. The website even allows you to do all the ordering and the customization of colors and text on your cake online! I know you foodies like technologically advanced food websites, who doesn’t?

Allergy Info:
Peanut friendly and DELICIOUS!
*Please note there are nuts in some of their cakes, but the bakery is cautious and happy to accommodate people with allergies, this does not mean that they are completely NUT free!

Foodie Rundown:
Buttercup Golden Layer Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Icing – I know I say this a lot, but I really think this will change your life, I’m not kidding this time!

It’s Taim…

It’s TIME to get over to a food truck called “The Taim Mobile”. Taim means highly pleasant to the taste or delicious, which is exactly what this food truck delivers. Not only do they have gluten free falafels, but they have a vegetarian and mostly vegan free menu!

So today, my colleague and I ventured to Varick and Grand (see location list here: http://www.taimmobile.com/). We were so happy with our Falafel Sandwiches that we have vowed to make Tuesdays “food truck Tuesday” and head over to this truck every week!

The guys were great, fun, and the service was quick. If you work in Soho or Tribeca (on Tuesdays), definitely head over to Taim and get a falafel sandwich, or probably anything on their menu, because it was delicious!

Schedule for the rest of this week (Week of 7/30) – If you haven’t left yet to find the truck, you’re totally missing out!

Seriously – it’s like everything but the kitchen sink, leave now to get to tribeca before the truck leaves! I’m not even kidding…have you left yet?
