Few things would make the Food Truck experience even better. Shorter lines? Controlled climate? Well, how about credit card use at the trucks themselves. Our new advertiser is bringing quick, secure, and awesome mobile credit card payments to iPhones and we need your help to ask the trucks to accept them. The fees are really low (under 3%) and there’s no reason cash has to be the only choice in 2011. We’re talking to truck owners to try to convince them to accept credit cards, but if you feel strongly about it, feel free to ask your favorite truck operators. And if you’re interested in playing around with the service, check Square out, signup is free.

Review: Le Anh Chinese Food
As another summer passes, we bid farewell to lovely Penn and move on to bigger and better things (hopefully?).  That means that PennFoodTrucks will have to do without it’s loyal ringkeepers and will have to venture on its own into the wild that is University City.  Please help take care of it and let me know if there’s anything I can do for you or the mobile-dining community.  In the meantime, I’ve ventured off to New York where the only decent food truck I can find sells $6 waffles wafels.  Farewell, good friends.  And happy eating!

Our friends at FoodTrux.com told us today that the owners of Lucky’s Mexican Spot are opening a new Indian food truck on campus this fall!  Given the lack of diversity in Indian options, this could be a boon for truck enthusiasts at Penn.  Stay tuned for more details.

The scaffolding on the Quad came down today, so you can once again see that beautiful exterior as you wait for you food.  With just under a month until school starts again, there’s still lots to do including the 37th Street improvements and the Fels garden remaking.
