Bronx’s Food Truck Rally Rolls in Soundview

Soundview’s lots sizzled last night with the Bronx’s Food Truck Rally, feeding NYC’s spring. Chef Mia Chen flipped sliders as 1,000 chowed, a $6 plate fest on Bruckner. It’s borough grub—free entry, pure BX vibe. A kid nabbed a taco; a pro slurped soup. ‘Bronx eats—this is it,’ Chen says, grilling meat. The asphalt turned buffet.

The rally’s fresh—March 31’s kickoff, it doubled since RSVPs, packing curbs by noon. Chen’s a Fordham cook; last night’s crowd hit max—sauces flew. A line snaked for BBQ; cash buzzed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—trucks ruled. #BronxTrucks trended; Queens wants a bite.

Some griped—’Too greasy,’ sniped a health nut, dodging oil. Trash piled—cans rolled; swept slow. A rival’s pitching a Mott Haven fry, splitting grills. Still, 2,000 stayed—flavors reigned. Soundview’s never cooked so bold.

Chen’s teasing a spring encore, maybe a park if sales bite. ‘NYC’s hunger—this fills it,’ she says, wiping pans. The rally’s a Bronx win—grit meets grub. It’s a truck triumph; catch the next. Bring a napkin—sauces drip.
