Very Local is hosting an event with the Blue Sparrow Food Truck on the Northside on June 1, 2019.

June 1 // Local x Global: NORTHSIDE

What happens when Pittsburgh’s global street food truck, Blue Sparrow, decides to go off-menu and find inspiration in a local neighborhood?

by Lindsay Patross | May 22, 2019

Local x Global: NORTHSIDE is a rare opportunity for you to taste what happens when Luke Cypher, head chef and owner of Blue Sparrow, is inspired by the Northside’s historic Deutschtown neighborhood. For one day only, the Blue Sparrow menu will feature an item with a German influence. For those of you familiar with the food truck’s current menu offerings, you know that Cypher and his team typically serve items such as japchae noodles, bibimbap, or a burger with a ramen noodle bun — global street food. They make everything from scratch, from their bahn mi bun to their kimchi, and this will be no exception.

On Saturday, June 1, the Blue Sparrow bus will be parked at Allegheny City Brewing, so we can pair this crazy menu item with some Northside neighborhood beer.

How do I get in on all this action?

If you want this special menu item in your belly (and a Local x Global: NORTHSIDE neighborhood sticker), you have to snag your ticket in advance. No walk-ups will be served. Commitment is crucial.

Because we’re parking in the 15212 zip code, you’ll get the special Deutschtown sandwich AND a beer for $12.

If your spirit isn’t feeling so adventurous and you just want to come to eat the traditional Blue Sparrow menu, no advance planning is required.
