the world is your acorn

A few weeks back, while walking the dog, I saw this truck drive by.

I thought I was dreaming. Or that I’d read wrong. It just seemed too good to be true. Yummy Japanese food on the go? YES PLEASE! Of course I googled “happy eating” and “happy eating food truck” and “happy eating nashville” as soon as I got home, but came up with nothing. I thought it had to be related to Happy Japan (especially since I was walking near their old location), but their website was mum about it. Well, good news! They finally (ok, at the end of April) officially made an announcement! It exists!! It really, really exists!! I can’t wait to see what they’re offering. I don’t care, I’ll eat it no matter what it is, I’m pretty sure. PLEASE OPEN SOON!

I am excited about this. Ever since the baby came and school started getting crazy, we’ve been looking for more delicious, fast, close/on-the-way-home dinner-pick-up options. Pickin’s are slim for us, kids (if only the 12th South ‘hood fit those geo-requirements). The hot bar at the new gulch Turnip Truck has been a fantastic go-to. Otherwise we’re limited to some take-out options, which take way more time and the foresight of ordering (and god forbid you want to order from Watanabe, because there’s a good chance the person who answers the phone will put it down and forget about you before taking your order, so not only are you listening to her bullshit with a coworker instead of doing her job but you also can’t get her attention because if you hang up and call back the phone is off the hook and will be busy. hypothetically speaking.)

Anyway, this is exciting. Nashville Farmers’ Market isn’t exactly on our way home from work, but isn’t exactly completely out of the way either. And if it’s good, a 5 minute detour is nothing to poo poo.

WHEN WILL YOU OPEN?!?
