Behold: the Haskel’s Deli food truck, not quite kitchen nor truck, and definitely not the optimal housing for either function. But so many of you come to the truck, and enjoy the food, and ask questions! Finally, today, Saturday 4/28, I have answers to the most common of these:

Q: Are you allowed to be here?
A: Food trucks in Pittsburgh work on a vassalage system, where if goes to war with the hated plainspeople of Cleveland we pledge a certain amount of grain, timber, cattle, and soldiers. In return we are given many fertile lands, p*erage, and the right to sell sandwiches at participating craft breweries and county fairs.

Q: Y’all got nachos?
A: I apologize, all requests for nachos have to be made in writing and sent to the condo I share with your mother at 15 Netherswamp Lane, Boca Raton FL, 69420. Please allow 6-8 weeks for one of us to find it underneath an empty bottle of Kahlua.

Q: Is this a German truck? Is that German written on the side of your window?
A: Look, do you want the most upsetting history lesson of your life from a guy in a food truck, or would you like a delicious pastrami sandwich?

That covers most of it! Now that you’re a “foodtruck insider” come see us today 2-8:30 or Sunday 4/29 12-7!

Now that I’ve gotten my grubby winter fingerprints off the windshield it is, as they say, over for u hoes. And look at that pastrami poutine! You’re really going to go drink four high ABV beers with the squad and not lay down a base?! That’s not what we believe in, here, no sir. THIS WEEK:

Thursday 4/27: 5-9
Friday 4/28: 4:30-9
Saturday 4/29: 1:30-9
Sunday 4/30: 12-7

is our foodtography friend

Look at my hummus, shining and creamy next to a selection of craft beers. And then look in fear at 4.5 pound tower of pastrami, which some guy bought for money. Crazy that I’ll just do that, for you, the customer.

So hey! We’re around this week!

Tomorrow Sunday 4/16 we’re 11-2! I’ll have eggs. Maybe.
3:30-6:30 dahntahn at Frankie Mae Pace park.

This morning as I was taking some ibuprofen my daughter looked up at me and asked “nummy?” And I looked down and said “icky.” In life there is nummy, and icky, and how are we to know where to find the nummy? Haskel’s Deli is where. has the nums. NUM SCHEDULE:

Pastrami poutine seems to be making a lot of people really happy! I’m happy if you’re happy? Catch us this week:

By the way, for you mole people who don’t want to leave the safety of the burrow, Haskel’s is going to be live on starting this Saturday! I would really suggest paying attention to where the truck is going to be and then ordering when it’s in what looks like a reasonable ordering range. Okay!

BE REAL CUTE AND EAT POUTINE WITH PASTRAMI .brewing until 6 p*e em. Just want to say thank you to everyone who braved the freak weather last night , I hope you all got home safe and your house didn’t fall on a witch whose sister is a meaner, more powerful witch with an army of flying monkeys and a thirst for vengeance. Wait, is the Wizard of Oz just The 36 Chambers of Shaolin in reverse?

Let’s talk about PICKLES!!! A lot of you really like the pickles! And you can come to the truck abs buy as many of then as you want! But: do any of you like the pickles enough to sell them retail? If you want to offer Haskel’s Delicatessen pickles somewhere let me know!

(Sorry my daughter got me sick so no tonight 3/31.)

LISTEN IT’S GOING TO BE 70 DEGREES TODAY. I know you all want to get crunky, live that dangit we ball lifestyle, uh, hashtag hot girl summer, shuck the fat oyster, stacks on stacks, whole squad drinking champagne in the helicopter. I know that because embodies these virtues!!! But how are you to get to your crunkiest without a base layer of pastrami sandwich and fancy beer?!?! I’M HERE TIL 8:30 GUYS.

Schedule is HERE, schedule is ON THE WEBSITE (I promise I’m going to make a calendar but doesn’t let you make recurring events so it’s a pain), the schedule is good and it is my contract with You, my Fans. Menu is going up tonight.

Couple of things: if anyone can highly recommend an embeddable calendar that syncs with Squarespace lmk in the comments or the DMz.

Also: still taking applications to be the Haskels Front of House! Yes folx it’s true you can live your dreams of being on a food truck and telling me what I’m supposed to be cooking when I forget, which is always. Pitter patter let’s get at ‘er!

2023! Schedule is up at haskelsdeli dot com, and winter… didn’t really happen. And now it’s almost over!

Exciting news: we’re hiring again! Interested candidates DM me. $18.50 / hr plus tips, driver’s license a big plus, must be good with customers, it would be cool if you have kitchen experience but really just be good with customers. Okay! Pre-launch menu photoshoot coming soon!

No, this isn’t about food, yes I’ll post the 2023 schedule soon, yes we’re back in action in March.

Everyone should read and sign onto this letter drafted by a broad group of ( nytletter.com ) contributors and readers on the topic of transphobia in elite publications. Hiding behind a cover of being “fair to both sides” they push hateful junk science and bad faith propaganda to dehumanize trans people and provide cover for culturally influential and/or powerful transphobes ( , rot in hell.)

**kjkrowling

Always going to show another food truck love if I can - in Tallahassee, you’re my wildest dream come true. I wish I had pictures of the torta ahogada with pastor, but I ate it way too fast. Please open one in Pittsburgh, I’ll invest.
