Tropical Storm Emily is moving northwest and close to making landfall on Haiti and Dominican Republic. Though the latest projection by the National Hurricane Service has Miami just outside the “cone of death”, food truck owners have two concerns: the safety of their trucks in a wind storm and the…

Let’s just get this out of the way: We despise cauliflower. We’ve hated it since we were kids. It’s hard and crumbly and ghostly and everything a vegetable shouldn’t be. But boy did we get a surprise when we were pushed to eat ’em atop an Anthony’s Coal Fired pizza…
