Food Truck Watch: There Is Now A SMOOTHIE TRUCK
August 9, 2010 at 4:06 pm
As dedicated readers will know, we here at UTB take extreme delight in covering the opening of new food trucks in the Penn hood. Today, we present you with news of the newly opened La Vie Natural Juice and Smoothie.
La Vie set up shop on the southwest corner of 38th and Spruce (right next to Carribean food truck Gigi's) two weeks ago, after doing a test run on 10th and University in Center City. The truck is run by Fednel St. Fort, a Philadelphian who grew up in Haiti. As the name would indicate, La Vie will serve up smoothies and natural juices: mangoes, carrots, bananas and the like.
A Philly-local correspondent spoke with Mr. St. Fort, who said he named the truck La Vie because "Once you drink the smoothie it brings you back to life." Said brave correspondent tried the mango-avocado smoothie which she said was, "Yummm."
La Vie is officially UTB's new Sunday morning hangover cure. Bui's egg and cheese is so passé.
