Social Sightings: Little Arthur's Hoagies Is Going Mobile, Fox Run Adds Dinner and More Food News

Monday mornings are tough, but this series isn't. Social Sightings is a quick taste of recent food tidbits that goes down as easy as your first cup of coffee, and should whet your appetite for the week ahead.

Our 2022 pick for Best Pop-Up, Little Arthur's, has a lot of fans. Fguring out where and how to score these massive East Coast-style hoagies can be a challenge, though, with pre-orders selling out quickly and lines forming fast when the sandwiches are being served. But recently, owner AJ Shreffler announced plans for the business's next big step: He's moving into his very own food truck. "I prayed to Mary Mortadell and the hoagie lords for fifteen years and they finally blessed me with our very own kitchen and a hood. Little Arthur’s Hoagie trailer coming at you consistently and hot as hell this Spring," he wrote on Instagram. Amen.

Last month, the Bonanno Concepts restaurant group debuted Salita, a cocktail bar that took over the former Lou's Food Bar space at 701 Grant Street (and is the new home to many former Green Russell staffers following that spot's exit from Larimer Square). But now it's not just a nighttime destination. On February 21, it introduced Salita in Caffè, which is "serving your favorite classics as well as unique sweet drinks," it shared in an Instagram post. The daytime concept is open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily.
