Food Trucks from 11-3 at Houston Pavilions Monday-Saturday

After all the brouhaha over food trucks being banned from downtown, the Houston Pavilions is bringing in a whole fleet of the mobile food units, six days a week. Starting last week, the food trucks will provide a daily lunch service from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
"We've seen the demand for more relaxed lunchtime dining alternatives in downtown Houston," said Karen Mulville, general manager of Houston Pavilions. "As many Houstonians plan to test their taste buds, get healthier and try new things in 2013, there is no better time to bring daily food truck service to the Pavilions."

The lineup of featured trucks will be Monster PBJ (which is offering extended service until 6 p.m.) on Mondays, It's a Wrap! on Tuesdays, Golden Grill on Wednesdays and Fridays and Ladybird, the converted school bus that's been visiting the Pavilions regularly, on Thursdays and Saturdays.

The trucks will be located at the corner of Main Street and Dallas Street in front of Forever XXI, and the Pavilions will provide tables and chairs nearby for seating. When asked if this would create a potential problem, Elmore Public Relations -- which does PR for the Pavilions -- assured us that the seating area would be located at least 100 feet away from the trucks, which meets the current City of Houston standards. And don't worry about any propane tanks creating potential "terrorist" targets; all of the trucks are electric-only.
