Give the people what they want! This will be the last time these make an appearance for a long time. This dish was my first culinary awakening from when I worked at Bec’s Far East Texas Grill from way back in the day. It’s never been mine, but I’m glad I could continue the legacy. Thank you Bec for creating this perfection.

Sunday Brunch Menu is also live for ordering. Available from 9-11:00

Hi friends!
It’s been a long time! I would like to invite everyone to like my new project Lexington Social. We’re a casual, energetic, neighborhood restaurant located in a beautifully restored 140 year old train depot in Lexington IL. Featuring delicious from scratch cooking, a carefully curated beverage program, and friendly knowledgeable service. If you enjoyed my cooking on the bus I would to see you out here in Lexington. We’re doing a series of pop-ups in June as we prepare for our full opening in July.
I will be closing this page in a few weeks as I start this new exciting chapter in my life. Thank you to everyone who supported the bus and looking forward to taking care of you at Lexington Social.

We would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! We can't wait to be back in action in 2015, and to see all of you. In the interim, enjoy the holidays, eat tons of amazing food, and be well. Thank you!

If reality television has taught us anything about body work it's that you need time-lapse photography to make it go by quickly. We have experienced a few delays, mostly in material and equipment procurement, but things are looking up and we should start seeing new body panels formed by the weekend. After the raw aluminum is shaped then it's off to paint! We'll keep it bright red, don'y worry.

We are absolutely bummed about not being out for the holidays this year. We also wanted to assure you all that any Two Blokes gift cards you have floating around will still be honored into 2015.

A simple thank you is not nearly enough to communicate our gratitude for all your support, but thank you! Finally, a picture of the bus before the damaged structural support pieces were removed.

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! And to post an update on repairs. The Bus is currently being dismantled to get at the structural areas needing repair and to make patterns for new sheet metal. Our generator mechanic has given our "trusty" generator a clean bill of health - now it just needs a structurally sound home.

We will try to post some progress pictures for you all over the coming weeks (for now enjoy a pic of her in warmer weather and better repair). Thank you all again for your continued support in our food trucking venture, and have a great Thanksgiving!

P.S. Share pictures of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes! We would love to see any Blokes-inspired, or otherwise, dishes you came up with for today's feast. We hope to see everyone back on the street soon!

The word from our bodyshop is that the bus will be down for at least a month. They will have to remove a significant portion of the rear to access the damaged areas and structural components, including our staircase. Unfortunately that means no lunch or dinner services for a while.

We will be sure to share our repair progress when we can, and keep all of you regularly updated.

We look forward to puttin all this mess behind us. Thanks again for your continued support!
