A new food truck serving a favorite breakfast dish wants to open for business in Del Ray.
French Toast was launched last year, and owners Beckam Baffer and Justin Wallace are asking the Planning Commission to approve a special use permit to operate in the driveway of 1506 Mount Vernon Avenue.
The 48-square-foot food truck would operate in the driveway of Suite Relief.
The proposed hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. It would be closed on Monday.
The proposal goes to the Planning Commission on Thursday, Nov. 7.
The owners did not return calls for comment.
Baffer and Wallace provided the city with the following description of the trailer:
The trailer, a fully licensed business, dedicated to serving a delicious French toast, introducing a flair to breakfast. With a unique, yet overly simplified menu. We are trying to fill the market’s need for a consistent and delicious food option in the Del Ray area. By establishing a place where everyone can go for a delicious meal, a place that allows them to explore the culinary art and introduce a younger audience to what we would consider to be the best French toast.
We are also seeking to challenge the existing market of mainly traditional breakfast restaurants. By adding a unique twist to breakfast, with the French toast. It doesn’t matter if they want something sweet for the morning time or a traditional French toast on some of the best local bread to be sold. We want to be the place to go. The trailer is a fully functional kitchen with additional assistance from its local commissary kitchen. Allowing staff to serve the local community members and guests with the highest quality product and the highest level of cleanliness.
