Grub Crawl - SoDo: John & John's and Kiwi Coffee Cafe

I tried these spots on E Michigan St at dinner on Tuesday. The first is in the old Mediterranean Blue location. The other is down the street at the A La Carte 2 food truck park.

John & John's - A small pizza forward Italian place. I just grabbed an ok NY style slice for $4 because I found their prices to be too high. IE $17 sandwiches. They are run by the Cavo in TP people. Around ten tables. Open for two years. Some parking.

Kiwi Coffee Cafe - I grabbed an ok egg and cheese muffin for $8 because I found all the value props in this space to be too high. Food trucks are gaining on airports for the most expensive snacks on the planet. A truck should mean LOWER overhead. The other trucks: Nova Street Pizza, Over Rice, Barrio Espanol, Smash Dunk, Brick & Butter, Taito Sushi and 503 Latin Fusion. I was there chasing down a truck called Burger Jawn. Does anyone have any info?
