Chicken and Rice Guys Food Truck Coming to Boston

A new food truck is on its way to Boston, and it will be focusing on a Middle Eastern dish that is hugely popular in New York City.

According to their Twitter and Facebook pages, the Chicken & Rice Guys food truck will be launching sometime this spring, featuring chicken and rice with white sauce or spicy red sauce, lettuce, and pita bread. Two sizes will be offered--an entree size and a smaller snack size--and lamb and veggie options will be available as well. The Chicken & Rice Guys truck will apparently be open only on weekends, with stations being at the Morse Auditorium at Boston University and the Boston Public Library in the Back Bay.

[April 5 update: According to their Facebook page, the Chicken & Rice Guys food truck is planning to have their grand opening on Saturday (April 7) at 439 Stuart Street in the Back Bay. On Sunday (April 8), they will be stationed at the Boston Public Library for lunch and Cleveland Circle for dinner.]

[April 7 update: According to their Facebook page, the Chicken & Rice Guys food truck had to move its opening back to next weekend.]

[April 14 update: According to their Facebook page, the Chicken & Rice Guys food truck is now open.]

Halal chicken and rice carts are very popular across Manhattan and Brooklyn, including a particularly well-known cart at 53rd Street and 6th Avenue in Midtown.
