Have you ever thought to yourself: "Self, what I really want right now is some free airline food, but without the hassle of the TSA." You have? Good news then! Because food trucks are just so hot right now Air France has decided to get in on the action, for a limited time.
From Thursday, March 24, through Monday, March 28, the airline is going to have a special "Air France Gourmet Food Truck" serving up free fare around town from Joël Robuchon—one of the celebrity chefs who has his name attached to the airline's food services. Don't expect to see Robuchon, the most Michelin-starred chef in the world, actually manning the truck though.
Also? For what it is worth we've had much, much, much worse airline food than what we were served on an Air France flight last fall. If you want to catch the truck—because, well, free food!—here's where you can expect to find it:
Thursday March 24th
Broadway between 41st and 42nd Streets
Breakfast - 8am-10am
Lunch - 12pm-2pm
Dinner - 4:30pm-6:30pm
Friday March 25th
Fifth Avenue between 49th and 50th Streets
Breakfast - 7:30am-9:30am
Lunch - 12pm-2pm
Dinner 4:30pm-6:30pm
Saturday March 26th
Park Avenue and 15th Street (that's what they say, we're guessing they mean 15th Street and Union Square East)
Breakfast - 9am-11am
Lunch - 12pm-2:30pm
Dinner - 4:30pm-6:30pm
Sunday March 27th
Prince Street and Broadway
Breakfast - 10am-12pm
Lunch - 1pm-3pm
Dinner - 4pm-6pm
Monday March 28th
Wall Street between William and Hanover Streets
Breakfast - 7:30am-9:30am
Lunch - 12pm-2pm
Dinner 4:30pm-6:30pm
