The food trucks will carry out that goal by offering adventurous specialties in each city, such as grilled kangaroo in Houston and alligator tail empanadas in Miami, along with a unique cultural ritual explained by the truck’s culinary ambassadors. MediaPost.com reported on the detailed of this enticing mobile marketing concept.
“We’ve got a great selection of local chefs that we’re partnering with across the country, and can’t wait to flip the script to bring fans a new take on the traditional food truck experience,” said Nipa Parekh, senior brand director at Dos Equis.
The seven food trucks comprising the The Dos Equis Mobile Academy will be located in seven cities across the country during the lunchtime rush of 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The trucks will debut in Chicago from August 21 to 30, and then roll out in Miami, Phoenix, Houston, and Dallas from September 12 to 22. Finally, they’ll hit the streets of San Francisco and San Diego from October 3 to 13. The mobile initiative is being promoted at MostInterestingAcademy.com and on Twitter at @DosEquis.
