More than just a food truck commissary in Mt. Airy
Andrew Gerson of the yet-to-launch Strada Pasta teamed up with Pitruco Pizza (see Adam Erace's review) to open a street-food commissary in Mt. Airy. But serving as a certified home-base kitchen for the two mobile operations is only part of the plan for the space.
More than just a food truck commissary in Mt. Airy
Andrew Gerson of the yet-to-launch Strada Pasta and the burgeoning Philadelphia Food Truck Association recently teamed up with Pitruco Pizza (see Adam Erace's review) to open a street-food commissary at 26 Mt. Airy Avenue in Mt. Airy, right near Earth Bread + Brewery. But serving as a certified home-base kitchen for the two mobile operations is only part of the plan for the space — they're also using it as a venue, hosting public and private events, "laidback chef tables" and tastings in the evenings. They've got the capability to do 20- to 25-person communal tables, as well as a scattering of four- and six-tops on the commissary floor. "The idea is a fun, relaxed BYO feel, relatively inexpensive," says Gerson, who will host the commissary's first event of 2012 this Thursday, Jan. 5, at 7 p.m. (Here's more info.) The plan is for Gerson and Co. to host events on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; he also wants to move into pastamaking classes after he launches his truck in March.
