Be on the Food Network: The Food Network will be taping a short segment at the Treats Truck this morning and they're hoping that some of their regulars come by to make it on TV. The truck will be parked on 38th and 5th starting around 11am with a full truck load of treats (plus extra kitchen sink krispies.) Don't want to be on TV? It will be business as usual from Noon to 3pm.

Blondie and I have tried nearly every treat to come off the Treats Truck. Still every now and then Kim manages to surprise us with a new addition to the menu. Last week I happened to glance at the specials menu and noticed carrot cake. Being a big fan of their pumpkin cake, I clearly had to give their carrot cake a try.

Do You Miss the Treats Truck?: Schnitzel & Things isn't the only truck that got a jump start on Labor Day weekend... the Treats Truck also took the week off, but if you find yourself missing Kim too much there's a great interview on Fork in the Road that should keep you warm and fuzzy until she returns on Tuesday.

Kim from the Treats Truck just sent word that in honor of their appearance on tonight’s new Food Network show Kid in a Candy Store (airing at 8:30pm, so watch!) they’ll be bringing back two of their most popular specialty items. Conecakes go on sale tomorrow, and Dessert Nachos will appear on Wednesday. Both will be sold from the truck through the end of the week. Follow the truck on Twitter or on the ML Twitter Tracker for locations. (We’re guessing this is what they were filming back in April?)

Remember the dessert nachos that the Treats Truck served during the “This is Why Your Fat” scavenger hunt through Midtown back in October? Well, it looks like it caught the eye of the Food Network! Tomorrow the Food Network will be hanging out with the Treats Truck all day long, and they want their fans to come out and be a part of the show (or not, if you just want treats.) Kim will be serving two of her famous specials (Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes & Dessert Nachos) plus a news special: Kitchen Sink Crispy Squares, as well as all their regular treats. Plus, when you get one of the featured specials, she’ll throw in an extra cookie on the house! The truck will be at their regular Tuesday spot (38th & 5th Ave), but will begin dishing out the sweets a little later from 2 or 2:30 and stay open until 5 or 5:30.

Remember when the Treats Truck parked next to the Papa Perrone truck (on 55th btw. Park+Mad) a few months back? They had such a good time they’re making it a permanent Monday thing starting today. It’s a match made in heaven as far as we’re concerned. (UPDATE: Papa Perrone won’t be out today, but the Treats Truck will still be there! UPDATE #2: According to the ML Twitter Tracker, the Schnitzel & Things Truck is taking Papa Perrone’s spot for the day. Schnitzel + Treats = Happy Lunchers.)

Have you ever been kind of jealous of the winners of Zach’s various cart tours? Even though I work in midtown and can hit the great midtown carts anytime I want, there’s something to be said about the fun of taking on a bunch of them at once. To really do it right you need strength in numbers, so when I learned that a couple of my friends from Seattle, would be in town and free for lunch during the week, I started plotting potential food adventures. Both of them regularly read Blondie & Brownie and they were jealous of the midtown cart/food truck scene. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that we should try to hit as many carts for as many different types of foods as possible and with that in mind, may a present Brownie’s Cart Canyon Tour: 10 carts/10 cuisines/$10 a person…

A Look Inside Kim “Treats Truck” Ima’s Apartment: The New York Tims real estate section paid a little visit to Treats Truck sweetheart Kim Ima this weekend, giving us an inside look at her second home (the one without wheels and tasty sweets.) I have to say her decorating tastes just endear her to my heart even more!

I came across the Treats Truck yesterday and the winter special is a cup of Mexican hot chocolate for $2.25 made out of Abuelita cocoa. She also makes an amazing Mexican chocolate brownie ($3) that is perfect for dark chocolate lovers, and anyone (like me) that doesn’t like a sickly sweet snack. It’s moist and abundant in flavor. Check it out now! Dooo iiiiiiit! The Treats Truck is on 45th and 6th today from Noon to 3:30pm.

Valentine’s Day might not be until Sunday, but the Treats Truck will be hitting the road with their V-Day treats starting today. This year they’ll have heart shaped sugar cookies with red sprinkles for $1.50, bags of red and pink sugar heart shaped cookies for $6.00, heart shaped linzer cookies for $2.00, and they will also be doing personalized heart shaped sugar cookies. The Treats Truck crew says they can personalize the cookies with anything… “A name, phrase …whatever will fit! ” The personalized cookies will run $2.50 for a big cookie or $2.00 for a small cookie and you need to preorder by phone or email. Think of it as you chance to create your own Conversations Hearts. I’m sure you can come up with something better than “Fax Me” or “Foxy Lady.” Check their twitter account, or the ML Twitter Tracker, for their exact location.
