The Beltway Bistro food truck is preparing to make its debut, and it has been quite a ride. Last summer Burtonsville resident James Turner was about to launch his food truck, Beltway Bistro, when the truck was stolen and later recovered with all of the kitchen equipment gutted from the truck.

It was recovered a few days later in Charles County, “gutted, wrecked, steering column messed up, painted, propane tank found inside – probably about to be burned.”
