The Dashboard Diner and Local Events!

Good evening Indianapolis! It has been a crazy week for us here at Edwards Drive In and the Dashboard Diner; caterings and private events have kept our trucks on the road for the majority of the week, and we were given some amazing opportunities this week!

First, on Tuesday June 4, we were given the opportunity to go on WFYI's show No Limits for a show about food trucks! It was awesome to get to hang out with Shadi (In A Pita) and Lisa (Scouts Treats)! It was a great interview, and if you missed it here is the link to listen...just look for the title No Limits - Food Trucks - June 4, 2013. Also, a quick shout out to Shadi Khoury of In A Pita for the awesome words on the show!

Second, we were given the opportunity to help get the word out about a pretty awesome event that occurs every first Friday of the month - the First Friday Food Truck Fest! This is a festival/event that occurs every first Friday of the month at the Old National Center downtown. You can follow them on Facebook here:

Every month the participating trucks differ, but there is almost always 20 - 25 trucks in attendance, along with local music! It is always a great time. Olenka, the contact for the trucks, did a spot on Indy Style to promote the festival; graciously, we were asked to appear to help get the word out and give a visual for the show.


 

We had a lot of fun doing the show, and it was awesome to get the air time! The turn out at First Friday Food Truck this past Friday (June 7th) was probably the biggest we have ever seen! Thank you Indianapolis for the turn out! It was a great night!

If you missed the highlight on Indy Style, here is the link to watch it:

Ever since we dreamed up and built the Dashboard Diner, it has been rolling nearly every weekend with events, and we love the business that it has brought!
