Blast-Off Truck

Saturday mission: Find the Blast-Off truck!

Come lunch time, the Blast-Off truck was nowhere to be found. (Side note: Should I be following food trucks on Twitter?)

Fast forward to 10:21 pm. The Blast-Off truck is seen rolling down Winchester Blvd. Starts up orders at 10:40ish and then we arrived here...


K. ordered the Pulled Pork Grilled on Texas toast. The pork was a bit overly salted with a sweet aftertaste. Overall the pork was overshadowed by bad judgement in seasoning. 
I ordered the Soft Shell Crab. Shrimp and a full but hardly seasoned soft shell crab were stuffed in between a Hawaiian sweet bun.
We also shared an Asteroid (fried ball of mac n' cheese). I had really anticipated this but, like both of our sandwiches, it also failed me in the taste department. The best part of it was the bit of gruyere stuffed in the middle. Although when we quickly ate that part up, there wasn't much left to be desired. 

Without much more to say, the Blast-Off Truck was not a hit with K. and I. With the growing popularity of food truck culture, most food trucks that I have tried are mediocre at best. I hope they don't all skimp out on quality, relying on a trend to fuel their businesses.

Spring Weekends

Overcast with a hint of actual sun here and there. Bring on the sunshine already! 

This weekend my sister K. and I will be hitting up the new farmers' market held every Saturday from 11-2 pm at San Pedro Square Market. If all goes well (by that I mean they sell bread, pastries, veggies, AND Indian food), then I won't have to drive as far to get local goods anymore! 

Also, we're going to try to track down the Blast Off Truck. Soft-shelled crab po boy? Tri-tip grilled cheese? Pulled pork grilled cheese? Fried mac n' cheese with a gruyere center?!?


Yeah...we're in. Don't count on another post too soon though. Food coma always gets the best of us.
