There's a food truck craze sweeping the country, and it's insane in our little part of the world. We went to a Food Truck Rodeo last Sunday where seventeen food trucks were in attendance. Sounds fun right? To bounce about from truck to truck... Well, the wait time was an hour and a half to two and a half hours per truck! So sadly, we left the rodeo but still had fun meeting up at a restaurant down the street with friends.
Okay... Back to last night. This is my oh my gosh even though we just waited for an hour and 45 minutes we're finally eating Chirba Chirba expression. We made it to order this time & without any food outages. Hooray!!
The only reason this long line was fun is because this food truck was partnered up with a wine shop, so we sipped & chatted our way to the front of the line. Here's Hank gathering our sauces for our snacks, and unfortunately, I don't say snacks lightly.
While the dumplings were delicious, especially the Juicy Buns, we were still so hungry. The portions were appetizer size. My favorite ism from Hank, "That was just enough [food] to make me mad..." I agree! Although, we'll give it to them on their snacks being good lookin':
So... We stopped by Burger King, seriously, for a burger and fries for Hank and onion rings for me. In any event, my favorite food truck experiences so far were with Only Burger and Pie Pushers (Pizza!). For both of these trucks, I got to walk right up to order, and the portion sizes were up to par.
In regards to the lines, the best advice I've heard came from Only Burger:
"Last night's Rodeo was pretty wild & crazy. All the trucks appreciate the amazing support. I'm afraid we didn't quite expect the amount of support we would receive. We expected a crowd, but nothing like what happened yesterday. We will certainly think bigger next time. The best time to get great food from a great food truck is on a regular old business day when the weathers bad!! See you all on the road!"
