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.

Big Chief, ready to go.
