Join us and St. Vincent Meals on Wheels’ Cart for a Cause tomorrow in Santa Monicawhere chef Josef Centeno will be serving up his Lazy OX Canteen menu. Each $10 meal (includes drink and dessert) will feed a senior for a day. The Cart for a Cause will be at 2850 Ocean Blvd in front of the tennis channel. Meals will be served between 12 pm and 2 pm. I would get there at 12 pm since meals have been selling out by 12:30!
When we look at the people behind LA’s first non-profit food truck (see above pic), Cart for a Cause, it’s hard to believe Sister Alice Marie (right corner) started St. Vincent Meals on Wheels on her bicycle. Today the kitchen is serving thousands a meals a day via a fleet of vans and now – a gourmet food truck!
Here is our latest cartoon we made for the St. Vincent’s Meals on Wheels Bike-a-thon.
My son Otis and my husband Patrick enjoyed their third year doing the beach ride.
At Doozycards we are sending lots of love to the home bound seniors, many whom have been hit hard by these difficult financial times.

Meals on Wheels Cart for a Cause
Bennett and I were were thrilled today to head over to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to eat lunch at the Meals on Wheels Cart for a Cause. Every meal purchased feeds a senior for an entire day. Lying on the lawn across from LACMA eating fried chicken n blue cheese sandwiches and tuna tartar is the most painless way to feed a senior.
Each week there is a different celebrity chef cooking inside the truck! Not just local fry cooks - world famous chefs like Nobu donate their time and all the food. Today it was Eric Greenspan from The Foundry and Bennett and I give him two giant thumbs up. Thanks Eric! If you live in Los Angeles check out where the next celebrity chef will be: http://www.twitter.com/CartForACause. They sold out today so arrive early.
