There’s a hot new street-food option rolling through downtown Seattle. Maximus Minimus is the creation of Kurt Beecher Dammeier, the genius behind Beecher’s Handmade Cheese and owner of Pasta & Co. Here’s the coach parked at the southeast corner of Second and Pike.

And here’s what’s on the menu. . .a choice between Pulled Pork or Vegetarian (Lentil) Sandwiches.

While I haven’t tried the sandwiches myself, I get it from good sources that the pork is super-lean but flavorful and the coleslaw is not cream-based, but vinegar (rice vinegar, perhaps) and a very tasty (and healthy) accompaniment.

Wherever it lands, the new Maximus Minimus bus, with its SLOWPIG license plate, is sure to turn heads and garner a smile wherever it rolls.
