The week that gross food fanatics have been waiting for is finally here… “This is Why You’re Fat: The Book” is out, and to celebrate they’re having an Eat N Tweet Challenge today involving 6 NYC food trucks (and a lot of over the top lunch specials). The way the contest works is this: every 20 minutes, starting at 11am, @TIWYF will be twittering one by one the locations of each of the 6 trucks in the city selling a special item inspired by the book (i.e. disgustingly delicious). The first person to hit up each truck, and twitter photos of themselves @TIWYF with each of the six specials will win a private food cart party of your choice with 25 friends, and This is Why You’re Fat gift bags with free copies of the book! I know a lot of you have twitter blocked by your offices, so we’re adding @TIWYF to the Midtown Lunch Twitter Tracker for the day so you can follow along.
The best part is, even if you can’t make it to all six trucks you can still try any of the This is Why You’re Fat inspired menu items. And I’m pretty sure at least three of the six trucks will be in Midtown tomorrow. Find out which ones, plus more tips, after the jump.

So what if trucks that twitter has been covered here, here, here, and here? This video by MSNBC has me in it talking about the Midtown Lunch Twitter Tracker! But don’t let that discourage you from watching it (Spoiler: I’m not an attractive man), it also has Miss Softee, Thomas from Wafels and Dinges (who I think uses Twitter the best of any truck in NYC), the NYC Cravings crew, Lev from the Cupcake Stop Truck, and a few random Midtown Lunchers (it focuses entirely on Midtown.) No mention of the ways that Twitter can actually hurt street vendors but what are you gonna do?
Check out the video, after the jump…

A quick look at the ML Twitter Tracker to see who’s working today: Street Sweets, Cupcake Stop, and Schnitzel are out. Rickshaw and Wafels are in, but not working in Midtown. And NYC Cravings is on 48th btw. 6+7th. As for the old school trucks, Biriyani Cart (on 46th and 6th) and Jamaican Dutchy (on 51st and 7th) are both working, and Kwik Meal is open on 45th & 6th, and 47th and Park- but their 3rd Avenue location is closed today. How about you? Are you working? And if you are, did you notice any lunches of note open or closed today?
