Do not feed almonds or other nuts to small children as they may cause choking and lodge in the lungs.

Slow Food Takes to the Street
Colin and Kevin Simonson
Two brothers, Colin and Kevin Simonson are in the forefront of the “Farmer Meets Food Truck” revolution. Crossroad Chicken is definitely on the other side of the road.
Simple, fresh and sustainable has been part of the Simonson Brothers’ life from childhood since their parents first raised a brood of chickens in their back yard, and where the boys enjoyed fresh eggs daily. Producing the consummate mash-up of fast food, produced by local growers, seasonally, under sustainable conditions, and served at the window of their own Food Truck, the two brothers are bringing their own version of Slow Food to the street.
