Just as it seems like Philly’s food truck scene is picking up some momentum, comes some bad news. Tyson Bees, the truck launched late last year by former Chew Man Chu chef and onetime Iron Chef challenger Tyson Wong Ophaso (he held his own against Morimoto in Battle Curry way back in 2008), is out of commission. Ophaso dropped the bummer on Twitter yesterday, saying his truck is off the streets and in the shop for repairs. As for a return? Don’t hold your breath. In his discouraging tweet, Ophaso added: “We won’t be back to 33rd & Spruce for quite some time.” On the brighter side, perhaps this setback will allow him more time to work on that Thai restaurant he’s supposedly going to open.
