Chef John brings the truck, the crew, and the Chesapeake comfort 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 catering events start at a $1,000 food & service minimum for a typical 3–4 hour service window. Larger events, festivals, and multi-day bookings can be quoted individually.

If you’re not sure whether 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.

Signature crab-dip fries & rotating specials
Sandwiches, sliders, and hearty mains
Seasonal sides and add-ons
Vegetarian-friendly options on request

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