San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 09, 2011
Stitches n Dishes, Californias only network of vendors, venues and their fans, providing news, schedules, reviews, high-quality photography, video and media coverage named a San Francisco-based food truck, Best Food Truck by a popular vote counted on December 3, 2011 at the third Sacramento Mobile Foods Festival, sponsored, in part by Stitches n Dishes.
Nearly 700 of the 2000 attendees at the event were polled, and asked to vote for their favorite food truck of the day, after a sampling from upwards of 23 food trucks at Northern Californias largest and most diverse mobile foods festival. Sixteen of the 23 vendors received votes, while seven received no votes.
Ballots were included in an entry form for a drawing to win a Nintendo Wii Console bundle package with several games, sponsored by Stitches n Dishes. The entries were tabulated immediately following the conclusion of the event, and double-counted.
The Bacon Bacon truck owned by Jim Angelus of San Francisco received nearly 20% of the votes, earning the title, Best Food Truck at the Festival. Stitches n Dishes Co-Founders, Christopher Ford and Andrew Nicora, along with Stitch, the blog sites mascot, will present a plaque to Angelus in recognition of the accomplishment in the next 10 days.
Were very happy to present our first Best Food Truck award to Jim Angelus and his Bacon Bacon Truck, said Ford. Jim possesses a certain unique creativity that we only run into every so often. He listens and responds to his customers, and hes interactive and engaging. His mobile restaurant is a true reflection of his own personality. When you reach this level of creativity, your customers respond. Its no surprise that he took this award.
Launched in July, 2011, Bacon Bacon was listed in the top ten food trucks in San Francisco by the Chase Sapphire Visa Signature Eaters Choice Awards in October and continues to take Northern California by storm.
I couldnt believe we were voted Best Food Truck. Its an honor, said Angelus.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 28, 2011
Stitches n Dishes is Californias only network of vendors, venues and their fans, providing news, schedules, reviews, high-quality photography, video and media coverage on its website. The blog site will sponsor SactoMoFo3, a full-day mobile food festival at the Farmers Market on 8th St. and W St., in Downtown Sacramento, CA on December 3, 2011 from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Founders, Christopher Ford and Andrew Nicora announced that Stitches ‘n Dishes will award a Nintendo Wii game console, including Super Mario Bros, Food Networks Cook or Be Cooked!, Order Up! and a Wii Cooking Set, a $ 250 value, in a no-purchase-necessary, free drawing.
Ford published a review about Jarosz wicked sandwiches on the Stitches n Dishes blog site in October. We couldnt be more excited about Wicked Wich at this amazing event. This truck is a night club on wheels, fully equipped with LED screens, exterior speakers and a state of the art sound system. People flock to this truck for its creative design alone, but the food is phenomenal, said Nicora.
Were not fad food, said Jarosz. We cook with heart, passion and instinct, and offer something unique and interesting. We offer things you wont find anywhere and use only fresh products. Nothing is frozen; not even the fries.
Restrictive Sacramento City Ordinances prevent food trucks from effectively serving curbside by prohibiting parking on the street for more than 30 minutes. SactoMoFo, a volunteer organization is aimed at effecting change in City Council to permit food trucks and food carts to operate on city streets for longer than 30 minutes. While most food truck operators compete for limited space to serve their fare in parking lots, Jarosz and his Wicked Wich have brewed up an innovative food truck spin on some tried and true concepts to expand his business and beat the odds.
Wicked Wich (http://www.wichonwheels.com) is the first mobile food truck to incorporate the use of a chase car in its service offering. The chase car, wrapped in its wicked insignia, a miniaturized version of its Mother Truck, will bring street food directly from the truck to the front door, the office or a conference room. When people cant get away for lunch at their favorite food truck, well bring it to them, said Jarosz. He will begin offering delivery service via the Lil Wich chase car in December.
A multi-billion dollar industry, prepared meal delivery service is typically associated with brick and mortar restaurants. In 1988, Takis Zarikos and Constantine Stathopoulous introduced Waiters on Wheels, a concept that revolutionized prepared meal delivery, and conceivably became the fathers of todays food truck phenomenon. Prior to the launch of Waiters on Wheels, delivery options were limited to pizza and Chinese take-out. Waiters on Wheels introduced the concept of bringing gourmet meals directly to the consumer.
The food truck explosion introduced yet another concept to consumers gourmet meals prepared curbside. Prior to gourmet food trucks, consumers were limited to traditional roach coaches found behind factories and on construction sites. Food trucks bring restaurant-prepared meals curbside, and the concept has become a national phenomenon, inspiring the popular Food Network television show, The Great Food Truck Race, and has made national headlines in exponential proportions over the last two years.
Wicked Wich is also the first food truck to offer drive through service during rainy days. Jarosz concocted the idea during a drizzly afternoon lunch break. The business-savvy restaurateur partners with businesses and shares parking lot space to accommodate drive-thru customers as they pull up along-side the crimson witch to place orders.
Chris Jarosz is one of the most innovative, creative and talented restaurateurs Ive met, said Ford. Hes facing Sacramentos prohibitive street vending ordinances head on, and spearheading solutions for a very challenged market. Hes effectively found a way to bring two proven mobile food concepts to the food truck platform, and hes using them effectively to expand his business, despite the barriers to entry to the street food market in Sacramento.
Bringing together Northern Californias best epicureans on wheels, SactoMoFo presents SactoMofo 3 in Downtown Sacramento. The single-day food festival that introduced the mobile food phenomenon to Sacramento brings its third and largest festival, featuring tantalizing cuisines by local food trucks and stands, as well as exceptional food trucks from one of the best culinary destinations in the country, if not the world – San Francisco.
A convoy of eight of San Franciscos best food trucks including Chairman Bao, JapaCurry, Hapa SF, El Porteno, An the Go, as well as Seoul on Wheels and Bacon Bacon, voted in the Top Ten Food Trucks in San Francisco by the Chase Sapphire Visa Signature Eaters Choice Awards will join the event, making it the largest and most diverse mobile food festival in Northern California.
Also featured at the event are Sacramentos leading food trucks, including Mini Burger, Chando Tacos, Wicked wich, Heavenly Dogs, Simply Southern Foods / Its Corn Cake, Cajun Wagon, La Peidad, Volkswaffle, Smoothie Patrol, Fuzion Eatz, LLC, Swabbies, Leilas Lumpia, Esthers Cupcakes and Food Networks Great Truck Race contender, Drewskis.
SactoMoFo 3, benefiting the USMC Reserves Toys for Tots and the Sacramento Food Bank is a free event. Parking is also free. Attendees are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy and/or unopened, non-perishable food items for the toy and food drives.
