Chow Off The Rez on the Street This Saturday Night
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 2:59 PM
Off The Rez is a new food truck serving frybread (naked or with honey, or cinnamon sugar, or homemade lemon curd...), Indian tacos (chili verde, 10-hour-smoked pulled pork, etc.), quinoa succotash, and more, inspired by co-owner Mark McConnell's mother's childhood growing up on the Blackfeet Reservation.
Donovan MacInnis (formerly a sous chef at Portalis) is cooking, and the truck is named Big Chief, after Mark's uncle James Lefferson.
Off The Rez debuts on the street this Saturday night, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. next to Big Mario's on Pike. After that, they'll be open for lunch next Wednesday in South Lake Union at Harrison and Boren from 11 a.m to 2 p.m., with more locations coming soon.
- Mark McConnell
- Big Chief, ready to go.

I've been riding past that truck for weeks up in the wilds of Wedgewood. Now I know what it's for.

I'm skeptical, in my world real Navajo Fry Bread and Indian Tacos come from the Southwest. Blackfeet Reservation is in northern Montana. I welcome it and hope for the best!

you must have a small world cuz you can find real Fry Bread and Indian Tacos virtually where ever you find real Indians. It's not like the Navajo's invented the stuff.
