The National Mall’s Wild Food Truck Mafia

Listen for free

View show details

Washingtonian’s Jessica Sidman, who just published a wild investigation about D.C. food trucks, is here. It seems those rickety trucks that sell hot dogs to tourists down by the Mall are a front for what cops call organized crime — not to mention violence, illegal parking, and some truly gnarly food-safety violations. Jess is here to tell the whole sordid story. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter City Cast DC. You can text us or leave a voicemail at: (202) 642-2654.
