May Food Truck Rally
The May Food Truck Rally is upon us! A record TEN trucks will be assembled for your enjoyment! Friday, May 11 2012 from 5-9pm in the vacant lot located at 4th & Grove Street in downtown Boise.
Improvements are being made with each and every Rally. This time, the vacant lot has been cleared to allow use of the entire space! Plus there will be a new layout to help with lines and crowd control.
Our menu specials will include the Sloppy Dog, a Pork Carnitas sandwich, and Jalapeno Cheddar soup! See you there!
Food Truck Rally Mania!
In case you haven’t heard, the food truck craze has landed here in the Treasure Valley! Along with the trucks has come the Boise Food Truck Rally, a gathering of trucks held on the second Friday of every month at a different location each time around. This month’s rally (this Friday April 13th from 5-9pm!) is being held at the MK Nature Center at 600 S. Walnut in Boise. Bicycling is encouraged and you will receive $1 off your first beer if you do so!
The food truck rally movement has been such a great success in Boise that the folks in Canyon County have decided to try their hand with their own Nampa Food Truck Rally. Hosted by the B29 Streatery/Brick 29 Bistro, the event will be this Saturday, April 14th from 5-9pm at Lloyd’s Square (downtown Nampa on Front Street and 14th Avenue). See you there!
A Valentine’s Dinner (and other news)
Archie’s Place is teaming up with the folks at Payette Brewing to bring you a one of a kind Valentine’s Day dinner experience. Four courses. Four beers. Local ingredients and no sloppy joes here, folks. This is your opportunity to witness Jason’s diverse culinary skills. No need to stand in line to order at the window – this will be a real sit-down type of affair. Dietary requests will be honored (gluten-free, vegan, etc). $40/seat. Tuesday, February 14th at 6pm, at Payette Brewing in Garden City. Make your reservation today (call 871.1455 or email archiesplace@rocketmail.com).
In other news, Archie’s Place is now proudly offering dessert items from Le Bisou – Boise’s up and coming pastry shop. The Valentine’s Dinner dessert will be hand crafted by these lovely ladies.
Also coming up is the February Food Truck Rally! In order to better serve you at this event (read: shorter wait, shorter line) Archie’s Place will be replacing the grilled cheese sandwich (don’t worry, just for this event) with the new Mashed Potato Bowl – a bowl lined with mashed taters and filled with your choice of chili (available 3 ways) or sloppy joe filling. Friday, February 10th from 5-9pm at the corner of Chinden and Maple Grove. Follow the Food Truck Rally on Twitter and Facebook to stay up to date. See you there!

Food Truck Rally this Thursday
Boise is buzzing about the next Food Truck Rally this Thursday. For one evening, the vacant lot located where 4th dead ends at Grove Street in Downtown Boise, six food trucks/trailers will round up to vend their vittles and Payette Brewing Co. will be there selling some of their finest beer. Top that off with live entertainment from some of Boise’s finest musicians!
The weatherman says the elements will be bringing cold and possibly wet conditions, so be sure to bring your jackets and join the fun! Happy hour runs from 5-6pm – come early and check out all the food and beer specials! Along with the regular menu, Archie’s Place will be featuring Archie’s nachos and a “Cubano” style grilled cheese sandwich. Soups will be Butternut Squash w/ bleu cheese and bacon garnish, and Jalapeno Cheddar. Hot spiced cider will also be available to warm your fingers!
This is the second food truck rally at this location – the rally last month (First Thursday in September) was a great success!! And if some of you remember, this will be the third food truck gathering in Downtown Boise this year! The first was during First Thursday festivities in June when we held the grand opening for Archie’s Place – the “Grand Opening aka Boise’s First Food Truck Roundup!” which was also a wild success given the chilly and windy evening.
The Food Truck Rally organizers now have a Facebook page and are planning to organize a monthly rally (NOTE: not always on a First Thursday) to fortify the new local food truck culture! So keep in touch and be sure to patronize your local food truck!
