Lal’s Roti and Curry
LLC
It’s a taste of the
islands! Each year our local cities and counties host festivals featuring the delectable
delights from local restaurants. Over the decades I’ve lived here the festivals
have expanded because, hey, if you feed them, they will come! Another food
expansion that has happened here in SWFL is the increase of food trucks. Each
day vendors tantalize your taste buds and lure you in with the scent of everything
from chocolate to pizza to tacos. There seems to be a daily increase of the
number and variety of local food trucks. No doubt this increase is in response
to the explosion of our population and the need to feed the masses without
packing them into seated restaurants all thanks to Covid. While Covid has
certainly had an effect on our dining experience, some of those effects have
been positive. We’ve adapted to change quickly, and food trucks are no longer
just hotdogs and pizza slices. A recent addition culinary on wheels is Lal’s
Roti and Curry. The owners and I met while I was creating the VidaCann Mural in
Cape Coral (if you’re in the area you can’t miss the color explosion at 1411 Cape
Coral Pkwy E Cape Coral, Fl) Lal wanted his plain white truck to stand out
amongst the fleet of food trucks. He also wanted to avoid the typical photo wrap
which here in SWFL quickly fades to an unappetizing pea green color. It’s serendipitous
that I had on my “art wish list” to do food illustration. The first half of the
food truck mural is now complete and made it’s debut this week:
The serving side
features a tropical background and bamboo menu board:
On the hitch side,
the background continues along with contact info:
Of course, the most
important part of the mural is the menu selection:
You’ll see Lal’s
truck at local events and parking lots ( such as the hospital ) Be sure to take
a photo and tag Swan Studios Inc and grab one of Lal’s tasty treats.
