Bowl Scraping? Truck to Serve Banana Pudding & Chicken Wings
Is the LA Food Truck market too saturated to handle some...pudding? We'll soon find out, as Nana Queen's has begun to spread the word that they'll be rolling out soon. They say they are "the first mobile catering company to specialize in Banana Puddin and Wings" (we'd wager the only, too) and plan to offer 10 varieties of banana puddin(g) along with chicken wings. Their promo material says it's "Guaranteed You'll Scrape Your Bowl," although right now we'll admit we're prone to scratch our heads at how there can be ten ways to make banana pudding, as well as how said pudding pairs with wings. Who's Nana? It's Janel Prator, a 1997 grad of Inglewood High who hopes to have her bowl-scraping endeavor on the road in the next few weeks.
