Northern Virginia Magazine feature
April 29th, 2009A big thanks to everyone at Northern Virginia Magazine for taking interest in our local and gourmet mobile food market. After more than a year of hard work, committment to our idea, and waking up at 6 am every weekend…we’re so encouraged by the response from our customers and foodie-friends! Great photography by Jonathan Timmes and an enormously insightful review of our business by gourmand and journalist extraordinaire, Buzz McClain has left us nearly speechless, or almost. Here’s an online link to the article. Be sure to grab a hard copy next time you’re out!
Keep a lookout here, chat with us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, or shoot us an email anytime at info@onthegourmet.com to reach out to us.
We’re growing, adding more local, farm-fresh products each week and we would love to hear from you!
Help us transform the farm-to-table delivery system and keep high-quality foods on your family’s table!
Here comes summer!
