    Grubstreet and Midtownlunch.com reported yesterday the truck would be on Broadway between 41 and 42. Actually, the truck wound up on 42 Street, right off Broadway.

    The truck was on my way to work and I was really early...so I stopped by for lunch.

    It is really a snack instead of "lunch". It is basically a sample of their airplane food, supposedly a Joel Robuchon creation (he oversees their inflight dining program).

    Lunch was a cucumber and a smoked salmon chunk on a toothpick, a 2" piece of beef (with wine truffle sauce)on another toothpick, and a 1" chunk of potato gratin, and a petit four.

    It was tasty. I wouldn't go out of my way to check it out, but it was good!

    Also note, I waited on line 20 minutes. I was early to work, so I was killing time. However, I would probably wouldn't wait 20-30 minutes for it otherwise.

    I really didn't expect to get a full lunch for free. Hey! Free is free!! Thanks again midtownlunch.com!

    So if you enjoy airplane food samples, freeloaders engage.

    Here is the rest of the schedule:
    Thursday March 24th
    Broadway between 41st and 42nd Streets
    Dinner - 4:30pm-6:30pm
    (smoked salmon and shrimp rondelle; french sheperd pie with duck confit)

    Friday March 25th
    Fifth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets
    Breakfast - 7:30am-9:30am
    Lunch - 12pm-2pm
    Dinner 4:30pm-6:30pm

    Saturday March 26th
    Park Avenue and 15th Street (that's what they say, we're guessing they mean 15th Street and Union Square East)
    Breakfast - 9am-11am
    Lunch - 12pm-2:30pm
    Dinner - 4:30pm-6:30pm

    Sunday March 27th
    Prince Street and Broadway
    Breakfast - 10am-12pm
    Lunch - 1pm-3pm
    Dinner - 4pm-6pm

    actually went back today again for "lunch". The truck was suppodesly parked right outside work. Well, like yesterday they aren't where they said they would be.

    I mean...did they REALLY thing they were gonna roll up on 5th Avenue and park a truck? Really?

    Well, for those who are looking for the truck, they are parked on 51 Street today, right off 5th Avenue on the NW corner.

    "lunch" was the same as yesterday (Lunch was a cucumber and a smoked salmon chunk on a toothpick, a 2" piece of beef (with wine truffle sauce)on another toothpick, and a 1" chunk of potato gratin, and a petit four.)

    NO LINE today. Probably because noone would know where to find them if they aren't where they said they would be.

    Damn French aren't very detailed oriented. :-)
