It must be humbling to be a food trailer parked this close to John Mueller Barbecue. I've noticed the workers across the street at the taco trailer sitting on folding chairs on a patch of dirt reading the newspaper while a hundred or so people queued up for a plate of brisket-praying that the meat wouldn't run out before they made it to the window.
Now there's a brand new trailer parked next door to Mueller's insurgent meat joint. It's called Gonzo Juice and I've seen it parked all over town over the last year. It was up on Airport Blvd, it was on e. 6th street, it was on south Lamar-it's been all over the place.
Now it's landed in Bouldin Creek. Online reviews are positive. Apparently the owners are doing some creative takes on juices and sandwiches and what have you. Hell, if they can just get the overflow from Mueller's trailer they'll do just fine.
Has anyone been to Gonzo Juice? Care to file a report?

“As a photographer, to be famous is dangerous.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson
If you are a photographer, either professional or aspiring, changes are you know the name and the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson. If somehow the name is unfamiliar to you, here’s the short version: Cartier-Bresson is credited with being the father of modern photojournalism and street photography (what he called “life reportage”). His photographic ideology centered around what he called “the decisive moment.” Capturing these moments became the core of Cartier-Bresson’s process, saying “Photography is simultaneously and instantaneously the recognition of a fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact.” Put simply, anticipate when and where something interesting will happen, and be there with your camera. Easier said than done, yet for Cartier-Bresson it became second nature. Ironically, late in his life, Cartier-Bresson abandoned photography and instead took up drawing. “For me drawing is…,” Cartier-Bresson says, “the tiniest piece of graffiti has meaning. In a drawing, you know when it’s enough, when to stop.” Director Raphael O’Byrne interviewed Cartier-Bresson in 2001 for his wonderful documentary, called “Just Plain Love.” In the film, Cartier-Bresson talks about his love for photography as well as his creative process. “It’s all the same,” he says “we look, we transcribe.” It’s a fascinating look at one of the most iconic photographers of all time and definitely worth a watch.
