Another Food Truck Calls it Quits: Mattie's Kitchen

Time for another obit for a food truck that no longer is. This time it's Southern-flavored Mattie's Kitchen, who are packing it in after being off for repairs. They've just made the proclamation, via Twitter: "Sad news: the truck is not getting repaired soon. Afraid that means we r closed. Thx 4 all your support!!! Stay tuned for a restaurant soon!" Two weeks ago, Mattie's Kitchen said they were not serving because of truck problems. It will be interesting to see how, where, and when they make the transition to brick-and-mortar. We first added Mattie's Kitchen to our roster in December; keep up via our list of Food Trucks & Other Mobile Eateries that Twitter.
