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.
Events We Regularly Serve
- Office lunches & corporate events
- Neighborhood block parties & tailgates
- Weddings & rehearsal dinners
- High school or graduation celebrations
- Birthdays & anniversaries
- Sports tournaments & community functions
- Festivals, county or state fairs
- Housewarmings, bridal showers & pool parties
- Community movie nights & backyard gatherings
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.
Prefer to talk it through? Call or text the truck at (443) 699-6627.
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.
What to Expect When You Book
Service Window & Setup
- Typical events include 3–4 hours of active service.
- We arrive early to park, level, and get the kitchen up to temp.

- Sandwiches, sliders, and hearty mains
- Seasonal sides and add-ons
- Vegetarian-friendly options on request
Final menu, pricing, and service style are confirmed in your custom quote based on guest count, event length, and travel distance.
