You plan the venue, we’ll bring the food
Bring the Food Truck to You
Chef John Talman and his team handle the cooking, serving, and cleanup so you can stay present with your guests. Perfect for workplaces, neighborhoods, and milestone celebrations all around Annapolis.
When you book CrabTown Curbs, you’re booking Chef John in the food truck — not an off-site kitchen. We roll up, cook fresh on the truck, and serve your guests the Chesapeake-inspired dishes they already line up for at our regular stops.
$1,000 catering minimum — most private events, for a typical 3–4 hour service window. Larger events, festivals, and multi-day bookings are quoted individually.

Not sure your event is a fit? Send us a quick note — if the truck can safely park and we have room to serve, we’ll do our best to make it work.
How It Works
- Share the basics. Tell us your date, estimated headcount, location, and type of event.
- Build a menu together. We’ll recommend a menu mix that works for your crowd and budget.
- Lock in your date. Once we confirm availability and details, we’ll finalize your quote and reserve the truck.
- Day-of service. We arrive on time, serve your guests, and roll out with a clean space behind us.

Out on the road
From Office Parks to Wedding Weekends
The same teal truck you see around Annapolis rolls out for events all over the bay — rain, shine, or snow.
- Office parks & workplace lunches
- Neighborhood pools & community nights
- Festival lots & parade days
- Backyard parties & wedding weekends
One truck, one crew, and the Chesapeake comfort food people actually line up for. Every event runs from the window: fresh off the flat-top, handed over hot, with nothing for your venue to clean up afterward.

- Seasonal sides and add-ons

Final menu, pricing, and service style are confirmed in your custom quote based on guest count, event length, and travel distance.
