Great news on the mobile food front: Matt Maroni's Gaztro-Wagon will be up and running as of Friday of this week. He finally made his way through all of the city's red tape and he'll get started serving up his Naan-Wiches during lunch at Millennium Park on Friday.
A Naan-Wich is Maroni's invention, which is comprised of fresh veggies, proteins and/or cheeses and served in delicious Naan bread. Like a sandwich... only better! Gaztro-Wagon's motto is "Fresh food fast." Clearly, I'm on board.
To find out where the Gaztro-Wagon will be setting up shop at any given time, you have two options: follow Maroni on Twitter using the handle wherezthewagon at http://twitter.com/wherezthewagon or sign up for text alerts at http://www.gaztro-wagon.com/Gaztro-Wagon/Home.html. Either one will tell you the Gaztro-Wagon's current location.
The schedule Friday, a.k.a. Opening Day, is rumored to be Millennium Park, then Lakeview around dinner time, followed by Lincoln Square late-night. There are separate menus for each of these phases. Check them out at http://www.gaztro-wagon.com/Gaztro-Wagon/Whats_Cooking....html.
I am especially eager to try the Wild Boar Belly, the Pork Shoulder and the Portobello Naan-wiches. I'll be stalking the wagon in Lakeview on Friday night. If I'm unable to connect with it there, you can be sure I'll track it down via Twitter or text in the very near future.
However, if you don't have the desire to become a professional Gaztro-Wagon stalker like me, you should know this: while Maroni's been waiting to get approved to drive around the city selling his creative street cuisine, he has also opened up a storefront in Edgewater. The store is located at 5973 N. Clark, between Ridge and Peterson, and there you can enjoy your food in-store or to go.
