Albert’s (Non-) Rolling Lunch
February 9, 2008
Update on something I mentioned back before Christmas…
I am happy to say that Albert’s Rolling Lunch is saved!
The one-time/long-time chip truck begins a new phase when it opens in the old Ice Cream Hut location in Point Edward–a few hundred yards from its original location, but still underneath the bridges and within an easy saunter of the riverfront. A saunter that will take you right by the other (lesser!) chip trucks which have usurped the mighty Albert’s prime location.
I haven’t seen anything in the newspaper about it yet, but I found out about this from a Point Edward businesswoman today. Subsequently drove by the Ice Cream Hut and, lo and behold, the sign in the window said “New location of Albert’s Rolling Lunch”. ‘Course the name won’t make any more sense than Records On Wheels did by the time I started working there (ROW started out as a mobile record store in a school bus), but mebbe they’ll incorporate the truck into the new bricks-and-mortar location.
It will be weird to have it in a building after 50-some years in a truck but, hey, as long as we can still get The Best Chips In The World, tha’s fiiiiiine.
