Just as it has in the past, the Fojol Brothers of Merlindia has been ranked among the top 20 food trucks in the country, this time by Smithsonian Magazine:

The self-billed “traveling culinary carnival” brings cuisine from mythical lands—Merlindia, Benethiopia and, most recently, Volathai—to the nation’s capital. Along with your plate of butter chicken, beef berbere or green green curry, the Fojols serve up a colorful fantasy, complete with costumes, mustaches and alter egos. The first truck, Merlindia, perhaps in a diplomatic move, arrived on the day of President Obama’s inauguration. Since then, DC has enjoyed a proliferation of food trucks slinging everything from cupcakes to lobster rolls. But as Washington City Paper says, “No one has been able to top the Fojol Brothers of Merlindia in terms of fun, flavor, and ‘Folosophy.'”

If you want to sample some of their quirky offering or just congratulate them, they’ll be at Metro Center today, L’Enfant Plaza and Farragut North.
