The volunteer based organization, St. Vincent’s Meals on Wheels –known for cooking, packaging and delivering food to the homeless and disabled –has partnered up with pretty much all of LA’s greatest chefs to create the ultimate food truck, Cart for a Cause. Launching March 23rd and running through the Fall, this food truck will be mobbing our streets every Tuesday manned by a different Chef, each of whom will prepare 3 meals (each under $10) with all proceeds going to St. Vincent’s.
Personally, I think this is the future of all great Chefs. They’re going to realize that they don’t need a whole bunch of hooplah and a giant restaurant to do what they love. These fine-dining fixers are going to take to the streets, to the PEOPLE themselves! It’s going to be like a midlife crises for the culinary gifted. Just watch, Walter Manzke already left Church & State and has been rumored to be getting a truck together.
Chefs Confirmed:
Nobu Matsuhisa (Nobu)
Walter Manzke (Formerly of Church & State)
Susan Feniger (Street)
Sal Marino (Il Grano)
Eric Greenspan (The Foundry)
Joseph Centeno (The Lazy Ox Canteen)
Jean Francois Meteigner (LC Bistro)
Vinny Dotolo & Jon Shook (Animal)
Michael Cimarusti (Providence)
Stay tuned with us, we’ll be following the truck around every week posting mini-blurbs about each chefs creations.
