Hi everyone~!
Sunday was such a gorgeous day~! How did you spend your day?
I was at the Durham Central Park for the Food Truck Rodeo last weekend. There was beautiful weather, good company, and of course great food~!!
I'm such a big foodie that I love going to the food truck rodeos to try different foods. My favorite trucks were there such as The Humble Pig, Chez Moi Bakery, and my new favorite truck is Bang Bang Banh Mi~!!
Bang Bang Banh Mi food truck serves Vietnamese cuisine that is gluten-free~! I was a bit hesitant at the sound and words of "gluten-free" but none-the-less, I wanted a banh mi sandwich so I tried it. Can I say that I loved it~! I ordered the Spicy Chili Beef Banh Mi and it was super yummy. The spices reminded me of eating Dwae Ji Bul Go Gi, which is Korean Spicy Pork. The meat was sweet and spicy and nicely charred. The sandwich also had grated carrots, sliced jalapenos, cilantro and I topped it off with one of my favorite hot sauces, Sriracha~!
Man, oh man~ was it yummy~!! My mouth is watering at thought and sight of the photo, ^^
For dessert, I visited my friend, the owner of the Chez Moi Bakery food truck. I love her rum cake~! Her rum cake was the first that I tried over a year ago and I have been a fan ever since. I got the opportunity to ride in, I mean sit in my very first food truck and I was kind of really excited.^^ Yes, I know it sounds cheesy to get excited over sitting in a food truck but I did. We were chit chatting about the cakes with her other regular customers and I said "you had me at rum cake~!" but when my friend gave me the sticker with her logo later on that afternoon, I saw that the motto was "you had me at cake". We chuckled about it because I didn't realize that was her motto.
I had the pleasure of introducing my friend Shay to her rum cake and told her that "it's sex in a to-go bowl~!" It was a very funny conversation and you had to be there.
The owner of Chez Moi bakery introduced me to the owner of Sweet Traditions, a cupcake food truck and bakery. He was so very kind to let me have a cupcake after my visit. I chose a Chai flavored cupcake because I didn't want pumpkin or peanut butter. I liked the flavor of the butter cream and the cake was "can't get any moist than this cupcake~!" He he. I mean the cake was perfectly moist.
Here are some photos from my visits.
Oh, by the way, I am finished with my list for Thanksgiving dinner and there are 11 items on there not including the gravy. I'll be posting photos of the prep and the final presentation. Comment or e-mail me if you would like any recipes.
Have a great week~! Eat, Talk, Dream FOOD~!
