A restaurant owner sent me his thoughts about food trucks. I've done some minor editing.

If a food truck parked in front of (my restaurant), I would take it as a direct challenge and pick up my game.

I know I sound like a d***head, but I'm not doing this to be average, I'm doing it to be the best.

We do this to be the best!

If you are a brick and mortar (a phrase that is obscenely stupid and now overused) restaurant, attempt to be better than the food truck! Again, if a truck was in front of (my restaurant), I would take all of their customers. That's it. It's business.

The food truck people are brave and bold for starting businesses in the worst economic climate of ours lives. More power to them and bring it on. If a truck sells more food than your s***hole, that means your food sucks!

I didn't think this would fly on the Sun website, so I sent it to you.

It's called Sixth and Rye (it's a project of the Sixth and I synagogue), and it's being billed as "DC's first kosher deli on wheels"

I know there's a joke here somewhere, and I think it begins like this:

Did you hear about the new Kosher food truck?

An "authentic French creperie on wheels" started rolling on the streets of Baltimore last November.  

Its name is Creperie Breizh -- Breizh is the Breton (Celtic) name for Brittany.

The owner are Missy and Eric Coatrieux. He is from Brittany, she is from around here; he trained racehorses in the United States in Canada, she was an equestrian. They met, working for the same trainer, in Florida.

The crepes are made with all fresh ingredients -- early favorites include the Normandy, with apple, brie and chicken, and a sweet crepe with raspberry and white chocolate.  

Getting a food truck rolling is tough -- the City and the County have different, and sometimes daunting, licensing and regulation procedures.

But the Coatrieux had a leg-up. The happen to be neighbors, just outside of Reisterstown, with Christine Richardson from the Iced Gems cupcake truck. "She went out of her way to help us" Missy Coatrieux told me.
