Thank you Isthmus readers! We have taken the bronze in the "Food Cart" category in The Isthmus' Annual Manual making us a 2009 Madison Favorite. It is our honor to be amongst two absolutely fantastic neighbors, Buraka and Jamerica.
Thanks again Madison, you all rock!

Ingrid's most recent article, "Apple of my eye" is now available at the Isthmus's "Daily Page" website. You can read it here. Give it a recommendation if you like it!

Ingrid has just had her first article published in the Isthmus in Madison. You can read the article here: Waffle Sunday

Susan Troller has a writeup on us in the "77 Square" edition of "The Capital Times." It's inside the 7/3 edition of the Wisconsin State Journal, or you can also find it on the web at madison.com. What an awesome article!  Thanks so much for the kind words, Ms. Troller, we can't thank you enough. 
Ingrid and I love what we do, or as a famous quote says, "Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life."  Even Clark and Petra look forward to getting up @ 5:30 in the morning on Saturday's to "go to market!"

Katjusa Cisar writes the following in the May 29th, 2008 issue of "The Onion:"

Ingrid's Lunchbox has been around for years, but recently got a nod from Bon Appetit magazine as the best street food in the country. Ingrid Rockwell grew up on a dairy farm and has been cooking since she could get a work permit. She's scaled back her cart for the time being to Saturdays on the the square, where you can get steel-cut oatmeal, meatless balls in a creamy dill sauce, or a rhubarb crisp crêpe, among other dishes.

Thanks much, Ms. Cisar. The Onion has always had a special place in our hearts, and to have mention means the world to us.

That's right!  We didn't just make the list, but got Top Billing!!  Thank you to Mr. Knowlton and BonAppetit, we consider it an honor.  The June 2008 print issue of BonAppetit Magazine features the "Hot 10" places for street food in the USA.  Sharing the top with Hamdingers in Charlottesville, VA and DessertTruck in NYC, 10 mobile food stands across the country are listed.  We think we want to try Krista Steinhauer and Adam Bork's FOOD SHARK in Texas first!

MADISON, WISCONSIN
At the excellent Dane County Farmers' Market on the Square, Ingrid Rockwell puts farm-to-table into practice at her tiny trailer.  The menu includes Swedish meatless balls and fried egg sandwiches on cheddar-and-chive biscuits.

Thanks again for this great honor!

The Wisconsin State Journal has published an online guide to the Dane County Farmer's Market.  We are not in the guide because we are officially on "City of Madison" property across the street from the market, none the less, the WSJ has done a terrific job putting together this comprehensive guide.  Check it out!

You can’t miss Ingrid Rockwell’s new cart on Library Mall. Its red siding and white trim looks like a playhouse barn on wheels, which makes sense since Rockwell, a vegetarian and graduate of the Johnson & Wales culinary school in Rhode Island, grew up on a farm in Deerfield. Her revolving cuisine is decidedly Midwestern, though with a twist, the kind of stick-to-your-ribs food she grew up “taking into the fields for my brothers.” Pork pie. Meatloaf. But her daily specials always include a vegetarian option: lentil loaf, zucchini fritters, veggie mac ‘n’ cheese. Her lentil loaf and meatloaf have proven so popular she serves them every Wednesday. The rest of the week, it’s a gamble, but so worth the risk. Rockwell serves some of the best cart food I’ve ever tasted, in particular her corn cake sandwich, served between slices of soft pita with sour cream and homemade salsa fresca. Don’t let the term “lunch box” fool you. Rockwell goes well beyond the ordinary with her reasonably priced haute hungry-man cuisine.
