If you're not sure what to do for lunch today, it seems like a perfect day to patronize a food truck; some of them will be donating a portion of their proceeds to help Frites 'n' Meats get back on the road after Monday's terrifying propane tank explosion. David Weber at the NYC Food Truck Association tells us, "Members of the association will set their own individual level of participation with many members planning to offer up to 10% of the day's sales to Frites 'n' Meats. The money will be used to cover health care costs for the two food truckers hurt in the accident and to repair the truck and get it back on the road. Donations will also be made to NYC Fire Dept and NYPD Precinct... in thanks for their quick and effective response to the emergency." And Frites 'n' Meats tells us their employee who was badly injured in the fire is still in the hospital. more ›

The truck is run by brothers Hiassam, Mohamed and Ali Beydoun, and one behind the Twitter account recently wrote, "If anyone has any info on my brothers location or status please call me." more ›

A turf war between two food truck vendors has ruined a prime location for all the trucks that used to park on the south side of 48th Street (between Sixth and Seventh avenues, outside the building in which The Wall Street Journal's located). Midtown Lunch says the turfuffle started on Tuesday, when the hot-headed owner of the Frites N Meats truck, Vadim Ponorovsky, arrived to find the Rickshaw Dumpling truck horning in on his business. You may recall Ponorovsky from the notoriously nasty email he sent to staffers at his Meatpacking district restaurant Paradou. He didn't disappoint this time, either. more ›
