Food Truck Gathering in Downtown Baltimore

The owners of the myriad of food trucks in Baltimore are coming together for “The Gathering” on Friday, July 8, 2011 from 5-10pm at Harbor East!

The best part about the neat event? That some of the proceeds will go to “There Goes My Hero“, which is a non-profit organization that works to match leukemia patients with bone marrow donors.

As many of you know, I love the Kooper’s Chowhound Burger Wagon, and visit whenever I am in the area where it is serving customers.

Iced Gems Cupcakes will be there serving their cool, yummy desserts as wel, and now Creperie Breizh is a part of it!

A bunch of newer Baltimore Food Trucks who service Downtown Baltimore will be there as well. Miss Shirley’s, Souper Freak, GrrChe and Gypsy Queen are all confirmed, as is Silver Platter, who is in this location on an almost daily basis (and whose lobster roll I hear is FABULOUS!), and has been behind the planning of this event.

The location is 421 S Central Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21231 (google map with street view). It is a vacant lot just north of the intersection of Central and Eastern Avenues. There is a parking garage directly across the street!

So enjoy the wares that Baltimore Food Trucks have to offer at this great event! Beer and wine will be for sale too!

Hunt Valley Farmers Market, Koopers Wagon and IcedGems Cupcakes

Hunt Valley Farmers Market has opened and Kooper’s Wagon and IcedGems Cupcakes truck were there to celebrate.

A few of my online friends planned a “tweetup” to enjoy some burgers and sweet treats!

It was a hot day so we sat in the shade.

The kids ran around and had fun!

This day was a sneak peek before it officially opened in June. The Farmers Market showcases local wares like beef from local farms, as well as goodies from small shops and food from the area.

We have had our Kooper’s Burger Wagon burgers before, but this was our first taste of IcedGems Cupcakes. We will be back! We split a half dozen, and they are fantastic, delicious bites of heaven!

Two kids enjoyed the birthday cake flavor, and agreed that it tasted just like the real, yummy thing. Another had the PB&J, which has jelly in the middle and peanut butter icing. Another thumbs up. I was disappointed that the one I had been drooling over, the margarita one, wasn’t on “tap” for the day, but ended up with the “Key West”, which is a key lime pie in a cupcake. It was fantastic! I also had a mocha coffee, which was delicious as well. Next time, I am hoping for the “Midnight Mint” or the margarita.

Iced Gems travels daily, but plans to be at the Hunt Valley Farmers Market on a regular basis.

The Hunt Valley Farmers Market is Thursdays from 11 am – 2 pm June through October.
