True to our family love, we headed out for a meeting of food trucks to try out some new eats. The draw was the ever necessary Cuban from Snout (hold the mayo) for The Critic. The comedy here is I spent some significant time prepping The Guys that now that they're bigger, they need to get used to ordering the food as is off food trucks. See the irony? It's their dad who is the one special ordering things. Anyway, The Guys were really interested in the salmon fish and chips -- we're doing something right! They were pretty tasty. The housemade tartar had some fresh dill in it -- nice touch! They liked the "french fries" (as in waffle fries).
I was most interested in trying a new-to-me truck called "The Box". The Critic agreed and we tried two different hum baos -- one with pork belly and one with kaluha pork. We were divded on which was better -- not a bad thing. The main problem with the pork belly one is there is barely any pork belly in it. We also tried the beef skewers which have a much more ethnic name that I have forgotten -- but they were delicious!
Such a short trip but I love that our family can do this impromptu on a Saturday afternoon before t-ball games.
