Mark Hodesh, along with folks from the Lunch Room and San Street Carts discusses Ann Arbor's first food cart courtyard, presents some sample tastes, and lets you know what you can look forward to, culinary and otherwise in 2012!

Mark's Carts is a brand new food venture in Ann Arbor, open in spring through fall, offering an array of fresh ethnic dishes in an intimate courtyard garden on Washington Street between First and Ashley. Each food cart is individually owned, and each presents a different style of ethnic or regional food. Join us and learn about this exciting new Ann Arbor venture!

The Lunch Room is run by Phillis Engelbert and Joel Panozzo. Their mission: to provide high-quality, delicious, and nutritious vegan food that demonstrates the breadth and versatility of plant-based whole foods.

Ji Hye Kim and Kristen Hogue Jackson own San Street and take their fond memories of home cooking and Asian street market treats to the streets of Ann Arbor, dishing up some really great Asian street food with the freshest ingredients.

This event is for adults and teens (grade 6 and up).
