I’ve abandoned the Street Food app. I noticed recently that there were a lot more trucks on the streets of Boston than appeared on the map. And, the app seems to have devolved to show only two very prolific trucks: the Chicken and Rice Guys<\/em> and Bon Me<\/em>. I began to think that Boston only had these two brands.<\/p>\n

I’m now using the Feed Me Boston website [link removed], which shows far more options and gives me a better sense of what is available at lunch. Yes, there’s more to the world than Bon Me<\/em>… though you won’t think so because EVERYONE at noon walks around the city carrying a Bon Me box.<\/p>\n

But, this website still doesn’t show everything.<\/p>\n

The truck that neither app\/site shows is Gogi on the Block<\/em>. I stumbled upon this truck by accident one day and it has since become the Holy Grail of food trucks… I crave the food all the time but it’s a hard thing to find. <\/p>\n

All week I have been walking around Boston looking for Gogi; and, last night I discovered that during the day the truck was less than a block from my project site. Denied! <\/p>\n

This is the incident that drove a wedge between me and the Street Food app.<\/p>\n

The Gogi Facebook page states that this is the “First Korean-run Korean fusion truck in Greater Boston!” and the first one “run by an actual Korean dude.”<\/p>\n

I don’t know about the Korean dude, but thanks to the girl who helped me pick a meal, I’m now addicted to kimchi rice. It happens that fast!<\/p>\n
