Trucks for Wednesday 12/24

We're closing early today, so I'm rushing to get stuff done and only have time for a list:

Streets of Thailand
Mama J's Chi-Town Eats

Note:  The studio is closed 12/25, 12/26, and 1/1 (though the theme park is open).  I will be on vacation 12/29 through 1/2.  I most likely won't be updating this while I'm out.  I will be tweeting though, so you can check that for the latest info.  Just click on the "follow me" icon on the right side of this page.  

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Season's Greetings, etc.
