Scoop: Food News Round-Up
Keeping you updated on the city's top food news...
• I love good bao, the pillowy little Chinese steamed buns. A new food truck dubbed People's Bao (@PeoplesBao) will bring the Asian specialty to DC's streets. Peter He tells Metrocurean that he hopes to get his truck
rolling around February or early March. The truck will serve
Taiwanese-style open bao — as opposed to the closed style — which will
allow the filling of meats and veggies to be customized on the truck.
Stay tuned for more details.
